Health authorities are discussing whether it will be required to take more restrictive measures but concluded that it will not be necessary because the British strain spreads at a higher pace and measures would not yield any results. Night curfew hours and no gatherings will remain in force. There has also been mounting pressure by the opposition and several critics over the alarming figures we\u2019re seeing\u201d, reported Iljazi.<\/p>\n<p>In regards to hospital capacities, the situation at the moment is not being considered as problematic as the country just recently boosted its capacities. Currently, there are 250 free hospital beds on a state level and 1.600 patients receiving medical care.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/north-macedonia\/2021\/03\/31\/astrazeneca-north-macedonia-reports-blood-clot-case-in-a-28-year-old-woman\/\">AstraZeneca, North Macedonia reports blood clot case in a 28-year old woman<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/north-macedonia\/2021\/03\/29\/41-dead-from-covid-19-in-north-macedonia\/\">41 dead from COVID-19 in North Macedonia<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/north-macedonia\/2021\/03\/27\/experts-explain-reasons-behind-mounting-covid-19-mortalities\/\">Experts explain reasons behind mounting COVID-19 mortalities<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Macedonia has been grappling with surging COVID-19 cases, with 1.511 new infections recorded on the last day only.
