ZAGREB, June 30, 2020 – Fifty-two new coronavirus cases have been confirmed in Croatia in the last 24 hours, bringing their total to 2,777, the national coronavirus response team told a press conference on Tuesday.
“We have 52 new cases. Over 4,000 people are in self-isolation and two are on ventilators,” epidemiologist Krunoslav Capak said, adding that the number of active infections is 515.
He said that 75 people infected with the novel COVID-19 virus are being treated in hospitals.
To date, 79,104 people have been tested, including 921 in the last 24 hours. A total of 2,155 infected persons have recovered and 107 have died.
After a very favourable epidemiological situation, Croatia has seen a rise in the number of cases as a result of a failure by people to adhere to the necessary measures and because of imported cases.
“We had several good weeks, after which we had a rise in the number of cases because of imported cases and failure to adhere to the measures,” Capak said.
