Earthquake in the time of COVID-19: The story from Croatia (CroVID-20)
Rok Čivljak, Alemka Markotić, Krunoslav Capak
Abstract
Although Croatia was struck by a major earthquake amidst the COVID-19 epidemic, the spread of the epidemic has not accelerated and the country still has one of the lowest COVID-19 rates in Europe. We have learned that we cannot do without one another: physicians without nurses, patients without HCWs, HCWs without non-medical staff, parents without children, and children without parents. Conscientious public compliance with social distancing and other preventive measures have successfully prevented the COVID-19 epidemic from spreading in our country.
