In the first three months of 2021, Montenegro was at the top of the ranking of countries worldwide by the number of active coronavirus cases. Nevertheless, thanks to the introduction of strict epidemiological measures in mid-March, which included the closure of educational institutions, restaurants, gyms, fitness centers, and shopping malls, the number of active cases fell from a peak of 10,000 patients to 1,500. The number of infected people has been below one hundred per day for the second week in a row.
