Earthquake in the time of COVID-19: The story from Croatia (CroVID-20)

摘要

On the hundredth day since days since the WHO was notified of the first cases of “pneumonia with unknown cause” in China, the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has spread throughout the world to 195 countries with over 1.5 million cases and more than 85?000 deaths [1]. In early January, when we had just learned that a newly discovered disease was spreading in faraway China, only a few thought it would soon be coming to Croatia. Nevertheless, by February, when the epidemic was rapidly spreading in northern Italy, it was already quite likely that it would not bypass Croatia, and on 25 February 2020 the first case of COVID-19 was registered in our country [2].
