1,921 patients are being treated in hospitals and 176 patients are on respirators. 1,025 people have recovered in the last 24 hours. At the same time, more and more people are being vaccinated among those most endangered, and so far more than 38,000 people have been vaccinated.

Today, there were 150 fewer new cases of coronavirus infection than yesterday. Most counties have a double-digit number, and there are only a few with more than a hundred - Zagreb County had 136, Zagreb 121 and Sisak-Moslavina County had 100 new cases. In Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, there were 66 newly infected people and 70 have recovered.

The pressure on the hospital system is also lower - in the county hospital in Čakovec, there are almost 50 percent fewer patients with corona. The most vulnerable groups are being vaccinated across the country - patients and staff in nursing homes, and those in the health care system.

At today's Government cabinet session, Minister of Health Vili Beroš presented the data on the total number of vaccinated.

“In the period between December 27th and January 13th, 38,281 doses of vaccine were used and by the number of vaccinated people per 100 inhabitants, according to yesterday's data, Croatia is ranked 6th in the European Union. In Sisak-Moslavina County 3,652 people have been vaccinated,” said Minister Beroš.

Prime Minister Andrej Plenković noted that vaccine orders have also been increased. In addition to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine, 2.7 million doses of the AstraZenica vaccine have been ordered, for which approval by the European Medicines Agency is expected on the 29th of this month.
