The Balkan countries rank among the 10 regions with the highest death rate from Covid-19 per 100,000 inhabitants according to Johns Hopkins University.
The Balkans also continues to record a record number of new coronavirus cases. Globally, Peru currently tops the list of deaths from this disease with 630.38 deaths per million people, followed by Bulgaria with 473.31, Bosnia and Herzegovina with 431.48, Hungary 421.20, Montenegro 408.43, Northern Macedonia 398.95, Croatia 334.97 deaths. Serbia scored within the last 24 hours 36,737 new active cases with COVID-19, a new record for this country, where the total number of infections has reached 1,616,584 while the number of lost lives is 13,417. About 46.9 percent of people in Serbia are fully vaccinated.
Authorities there have recently increased hospital capacity and imposed mandatory vaccination passports when the fourth wave of the pandemic hit the region.
Experts believe that low vaccination rates are among the leading causes of high mortality rates. Measures for coronavirus, in different states, are taken based on the assessment of facts by policy. For some European countries, such as the United Kingdom and Denmark, the pandemic seems to be over.
