The number of registered coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in Croatia reached approximately 1.28 million as of October 12, 2023. By this date, 1.26 million people had recovered from the illness and the number of deceased totaled 18,374.

The spread of the virus

Authorities confirmed the first case of COVID-19 in Croatia on February 25, 2020, after a man was tested positive for coronavirus following his return from Milan, where he had traveled to see the Champions League match between Atlanta and Valencia. In March 2020, multiple Croatian settlements reported new infections, totaling over 800 by the end of the month.

Effect on tourism in the first year

Croatia's tourism sector, which accounts for one-fifth of the GDP, was particularly badly affected by the pandemic since Croatia depends almost exclusively on foreign visitors, who generate 90 percent of the sector’s revenue. In April 2020, the Croatian National Tourist Board recorded a 99 percent decline in tourist arrivals compared to the previous year. However, by the middle of June 2021, Croatia had already recorded a 40 percent increase in the number of tourists compared to the figures from 2020. Travellers arived mostly from European countries, such as Germany, Austria, and Czechia.

Abstract

As part of the efforts of the World Bank Group to understand the impact of COVID-19 on the private sector, the Enterprise Analysis unit is conducting follow-up surveys on recently completed Enterprise Surveys (ES) in several countries. These short surveys follow the baseline ES and are designed to provide quick information on the impact and adjustments that COVID-19 has brought about in the private sector.

Project Tycho datasets contain case counts for reported disease conditions for countries around the world. The Project Tycho data curation team extracts these case counts from various reputable sources, typically from national or international health authorities, such as the US Centers for Disease Control or the World Health Organization. These original data sources include both open- and restricted-access sources. For restricted-access sources, the Project Tycho team has obtained permission for redistribution from data contributors. All datasets contain case count data that are identical to counts published in the original source and no counts have been modified in any way by the Project Tycho team, except for aggregation of individual case count data into daily counts when that was the best data available for a disease and location. The Project Tycho team has pre-processed datasets by adding new variables, such as standard disease and location identifiers, that improve data interpretability. We also formatted the data into a standard data format. All geographic locations at the country and admin1 level have been represented at the same geographic level as in the data source, provided an ISO code or codes could be identified, unless the data source specifies that the location is listed at an inaccurate geographical level. For more information about decisions made by the curation team, recommended data processing steps, and the data sources used, please see the README that is included in the dataset download ZIP file.

The goal of this research was to investigate the experience of working from home (WFH) among Croatian workers during lockdown i.e., while most of the strict measures to suppress the COVID-19 epidemic were in power. A convenient sample of 613 Croatian employees who were WFH at least one day a week during strict lockdown measures was collected via an online survey through SurveyMonkey online platform (SurveyMonkey Inc., San Mateo, CA, USA, www.surveymonkey.com). Participants were recruited through social media channels (personal and official Facebook pages and LinkedIn) (65.9%), and with the help of undergraduate psychology students (i.e. the undergraduate psychology students recruited their family, friends and acquaintances) (34.1%). Data were collected in April and at the beginning of May 2020, while most of the strict lockdown measures were still in power.

The aim of this study was to simultaneously investigate a range of individual predictors of beliefs in COVID-19 conspiracy theories that account for socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, education, economic standard, the importance of religion and political self-identification), distinctive motivational orientations (social dominance and authoritarianism), relevant social attitudes (sense of political powerlessness and trust in science and scientists) and perceived personal risk (perceived risk for self and family members, concern of being infected and expected influence of pandemic on one’s own economic standard). Data collection was done as a part of a longitudinal study in progress using the online panel of respondents who were compensated for their time. The sample was a national probabilistic quota sample that was two-way stratified: by region and by settlement size. The structure of the total sample corresponded to the structure of the targeted population according to the valid census, including the distribution of age, gender and, with corrections, education. Participants were 1060 adults recruited from the general population of Croatia.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted hospital care, as hospitals had to deal with a highly infectious virus, while at the same time continuing to fulfill the ongoing health service needs of their communities. This study examines the direct effects of COVID-19 on the delivery of inpatient care in Croatia.Materials and Methods: The research is a retrospective, comparative analysis of the hospital admission rate across all Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) classes before and during the pandemic. It is based on DRG data from all non-specialized acute hospitals in Croatia, which account for 96% of national inpatient activity. The study also used COVID-19 data from the Croatian Institute of Public Health (CIPH).Results: The results show a 21% decrease in the total number of admissions [incident rate ratio (IRR) 0.8, p < 0.0001] across the hospital network during the pandemic in 2020, with the greatest drop occurring in April, when admissions plunged by 51%. The decrease in activity occurred in non-elective DRG classes such as cancers, stroke, major chest procedures, heart failure, and renal failure. Coinciding with this reduction however, there was a 37% increase (IRR 1.39, p < 0.0001) in case activity across six COVID-19 related DRG classes.Conclusions: The reduction in hospital inpatient activity during 2020, can be attributed to a number of factors such as lock-downs and quarantining, reorganization of hospital operations, the rationing of the medical workforce, and the reluctance of people to seek hospital care. Further research is needed to examine the consequences of disruption to hospital care in Croatia. Our recommendation is to invest multidisciplinary effort in reviewing response procedures to emergencies such as COVID-19 with the aim of minimizing their impact on other, and equally important community health care needs.

The aim of this study was to examine how cyberchondria is related to changes in levels of COVID-19 concern and safety behaviours among persons living in Croatia during the period in which the first COVID-19 case was identified and when the country recorded its first fatality. Repeated cross-sectional data collection was conducted during two waves over a period of three weeks (N1 = 888; N2 = 966). The first began on the day of the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Croatia (February 24th, 2020) and the second wave began three weeks later, on the day the first COVID-19 fatality was recorded in Croatia (March 19th, 2020). Participants completed an online questionnaire regarding various COVID-19 concerns and safety behaviours aimed at disease prevention (information seeking, avoidance and hygiene) and a measure of cyberchondria (Short Cyberchondria Scale, SCS).
