Over the last 24 hours, there have been 8,815 new cases of coronavirus in Croatia confirmed via PCR tests in Croatia, the national Covid-19 crisis management team said on Thursday.

A total of 2,108 patients are receiving hospital treatment, including 194 who are on ventilators. The number of active cases now stands at 59,927 while 26,731 people are self-isolating.

Since the start of the epidemic in March 2020, 963,370 people have become infected with the novel coronavirus and 13,989 have died. To date, 4,285,836 persons have been tested, including 18,142 in the past 24 hours.

A total of 56.6 percent out of Croatia’s total population of around four million have been vaccinated with at least one vaccine shot, which equates to 67.3 percent of all adults. A total of 64.9 percent of all adults have been fully vaccinated.

All of these figures – including the number of active cases – are taken from official reports which do not include thousands of new cases identified via quick antigen tests and which are not counted by the national coronavirus task force.

These are recorded in a separate registry leaked daily to the local media, who go on to publish them as “unofficial figures” every morning, attributed to unidentified sources.
