Croatian Army troops on Friday set up tents outside the University Hospital Centre (KBC) in Zagreb that will cater for triage procedures, the Defence Ministry has informed.

With the aim of providing assistance to the local community and civil society institutions in efforts to curb the coronavirus epidemic, troops will set up three heated tents outside KBC Zagreb.

Twenty troops have been engaged and the necessary equipment has been delivered. The tents are being set up outside KBC Zagreb for the purpose of catering for triage procedures during the coronavirus pandemic.

Barbara Lenkic from the Croatian Army’s logistics and support unit recalled that the army had previously set up the tents outside the KB Dubrava Hospital and other hospitals in Zagreb, Sibenik, Zadar and Split.

Lenkic said that it was necessary for citizens to be responsible and wear masks, a press release said.
