ZAGREB, 6 Dec (Hina) - The head of the Croatian Institute of Public Health (HZJZ), Krunoslav Capak, said on Monday that two people in the country had been found to be infected with the new Covid variant, Omicron.
The two patients have not developed any serious symptoms of the infection and all their contacts are under surveillance, Capak told a news conference.
The patients had been at a business meeting, and there are possibilities that other participants could have caught it, too, said epidemiologist Bernard Kaić.
According to Capak, Croatia has taken all the necessary measures to slow down the spread of the new variant.
