Kosovo’s Acting President Vjosa Osmani will award posthumously with the Presidential Medal of Merit all healthcare workers who lost their lives while fighting the novel coronavirus at work.
Osmani announced her decision on Tuesday, while she is quarantined at home and recovering from Covid-19.
Today, to honor their service & in accordance with the constitution, I decided to award, post mortem, with the Presidential Medal of Merit, all health workers who by selflessly helping others, got infected and lost their lives. Forever grateful! 2/2 pic.twitter.com/TkpSG7l37o
