The Arena Zagreb sports hall, which has been serving as an inpatient Covid clinic since November 28, has treated more than 100 patients suffering from coronavirus, the clinic's operating staff said on Thursday.

There are currently 41 patients in Arena and they are being provided with quality health care until full recovery and discharge. These patients have mild to medium grave symptoms that still require treatment.

So far 62 patients have been discharged from Arena. One Covid related fatality has occurred, a patient in the terminal phase of a tumour who had been transferred to Arena to make room for the surgery ward in one of Zagreb’s hospitals. He did not have any Covid symptoms and did not die as a result of Covid.

All the patients at the Arena clinic had previously been admitted to one of Zagreb’s hospitals.

There are currently 18 doctors and 60 nurses stationed at Arena working in 12-hour shifts so that all patients are monitored and provided with health care 24/7.
