Sažetak

Looking back on the onset of the pandemic
Exactly two years ago, we published an editorial in the Croatian Medical Journal discussing a global threat from a new
coronavirus epidemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus,
which began in China at the end of 2019 and soon spread
around the world (1). The first case of COVID-19 in Croatia
was recorded on February 25, 2020, while the editorial was
being written. On that occasion, we warned of the danger
of the rapid spread and pathogenic potential of the novel
coronavirus, the need for the constant monitoring of respiratory pathogens with high epidemic potential, as well
as of the importance of developing vaccines and antiviral
drugs rapidly to combat this and similar viruses.
