Putting Croatia’s Coronavirus Numbers in Perspective

July 5, 2020 – Taking a closer look at Croatia’s coronavirus numbers and comparing to the rest of Europe. 

Let me start by saying that everyone has their own corona perspective. Mine was spent on the idyllic island of Hvar, where I spent 63 days of bliss watching the world collapse around me. There were a total of two cases of corona on Hvar, both imported from locals returning from jobs in Austria. 

Croatia handled the initial corona crisis as well as any country in Europe. Today’s official stats for a country of 4 million people are as follows:

Total cases – 3,151

Total Deaths – 113

Active Cases – 842

Active Cases on the coast – 104

Number of patients on ventilators – 4

Total Deaths in the last 30 days – 10

There is talk of a second wave in Croatia. The official statistics show that there has not been more than 100 cases a day, if the numbers are to believed. The current number of daily cases is the same as the peak in Croatia several weeks ago. 

This not being my area of expertise, I asked for some guidance in understanding from experts. 

Watch the number of patients on ventilators, I was told. That will give you an accurate picture. 

There are currently four patients on a ventilator. 

Some think corona is a hoax, some think it is the real deal. I am not going to enter that argument. All I want to do is present the data, and let the people decide for themselves. 

Croatia has a total of 113 deaths, 10 of which have come in the last 30 days, reports Worldometer. 

Of the 842 active cases reported by Koronavirus, 104 are on the coast and islands. 

Is it safe to visit? I am not going to enter the discussion on health v tourism and the economy, as the discussions are complex and my opinion is irrelevant. All I can do is point out the real situation away from the headlines, and then let people decide.
