Sažetak

The coronavirus pandemic, starting in 2019, penetrated almost all aspects of modern civilization. Governments and organizations worldwide have imposed rules and regulations in order to control the spread of the virus, thereby introducing tremendous changes to everyday life. As the pandemic and the number of the infected around the world increased, so did the need for adequate medical care. Many uncertainties and unknowns regarding the virus and disease have made the task of organizing healthcare a day-to-day battle. The data presented were acquired from February 12 until March 15, 2020, during which time 2638 individuals were tested for SARS-CoV 2 infection. One hundred and forty among them were confi rmed positive, with 25 requiring hospital treatment, among which two, unfortunately, passed away. One hundred and thirty individuals under age 18 were tested, infection was confi rmed in 10 subjects and none were hospitalized. The mean age of individuals infected was 49.9 years. Our goal was to present and share the experience and challenges during the coronavirus pandemic, which affected us during 2020 in the Zabok General Hospital and Croatian Veterans’ Hospital in the Krapina-Zagorje County, which was one of the major pandemic hotspots in Croatia.
