Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic said on Thursday that the new Covid numbers had been falling for two weeks in a row, and in the last seven days they dropped by 22%.

“Those are encouraging signs. However, those numbers are still high and we should not think that the risk of the infection is over,” Plenkovic said at the beginning of the meeting of his cabinet in Zagreb on Thursday morning.

He again called on the general public to behave responsibly and respect anti-epidemic rules.

Plenkovic reiterated that more an more amounts of vaccines against coronavirus would be delivered to Croatia in the coming weeks.

Until 5 May, there were 341,000 confirmed cases of the infection with the novel virus in Croatia and of them 7,315 Covid patients died. This means that there is one Covid-related death per 47 confirmed cases of the infection.

On the other hand, one suspected case of the death can happen per 80,000 vaccinated people, the premier said in a bid to point out the importance of the vaccination.
