March 25, 2020 – The Croatian Government has launched an English-language version of its Koronavirus official website.
The Croatian Government continues to impress with its crisis communications.
An official information website, Koronavirus.hr was launched a few days ago, in an attempt to coordinate the latest updates, as well as dispense official information.
The site is updated several times a day, and includes updates on case numbers, as well as a chart monitoring the curve.
The site has been in Croatian only, but a new English-language section is now available, which will be fantastic news for worried expats, many in the diaspora and others who are not proficient in Croatian.
You can find the link to the English version of the Koronavirus website here.
With its regular press conferences and media accessibility of the key managers of this crisis, the official Croatian handling of this crisis – and its handling – has been outstanding after a slow start, and I for one am very grateful for the responsible and decisive approach that is being taken in extremely difficult times.
In another example of great communication, the Croatian authorities announced a new communications channel via Viber two days ago, which has already attracted more than 400,000 followers. This channel is being used to inform the public of the most important updates and advice. You can follow the coronavirus updates on Viber here.
There are currently 382 cases in Croatia, of which 16 have recovered, with more recoveries set to be announced today.
You can follow the latest on the COVID-19 situation on Croatia on the TCN live updates article.
For more detailed coverage of coronavirus all over the country, you can find all the TCN articles on the subject in this dedicated TCN section.
And if I was to recommend one article to read from yesterday’s coverage, it would be eminent Croatian scientist Igor Rudan’s account no why we MUST all stay home for one month.
