Bosnia and Herzegovina has recorded another 910 cases of infection with the novel coronavirus - the highest daily count in weeks, and 26 fatalities among Covid-19 patients, the healthcare authorities confirmed on Wednesday.

The new results came out of 4,232 lab tests performed among those who reported infection symptoms.

Bosnia is seeing another surge in new infections that some healthcare experts call the country’s third pandemic wave. The situation is particularly concerning in the Sarajevo Canton, which includes the capital city, and which recorded three-digit figures in coronavirus cases during the past week – on average, 357 new cases a day.

The situation prompted cantonal authorities to react and announce new measures to contain the virus spread. The cantonal government is in a meeting on Thursday and is expected to present the new conclusions on the epidemiological situation in the afternoon.

The country reported a total of 134,892 coronavirus cases since the epidemic outbreak. To this date, 117,643 patients recovered – 247 in the last 24 hours.

The coronavirus death toll stands at 5,200.

Currently, there are 12,049 active cases throughout the country.
