Unlike Western countries, the situation in Eastern Europe is still very serious when it comes to the number of deaths from coronavirus. Unfortunately, in this regard, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is currently at the very top of European countries.
According to information by the page Our World in Data, which runs and updates statistics on all coronavirus-related parameters each day, BiH currently ranks second in Europe in the number of daily confirmed coronavirus death cases per million inhabitants.
If you look at the data in more detail, you can see that mortality is extremely high in the eastern and southern parts of Europe, and countries located in those areas are at the top of this catastrophic statistic.
Hungary is the first in Europe in terms of mortality since it has a mortality rate of 25.2 cases per million inhabitants.
In addition to being the second country in Europe if we look at a number of deaths from the coronavirus, BiH is the first in the region when it comes to population mortality, according to statistics from the Our World in Data page, which follows data from John Hopkins University. Our country currently has 23.3 death cases per million inhabitants.
Our country is followed by North Macedonia (19.89), Bulgaria (17.9), and Slovakia (13.97) when it comes to the number of confirmed deaths.
If we look at the other countries in our region, Montenegro currently ranks sixth in Europe (13.19), while Croatia (8.32), Serbia (5.77), and Kosovo (5.62) currently have significantly lower numbers when it comes to mortality per million inhabitants.
The catastrophic statistics were commented a few days ago by the American epidemiologist Eric Feigl-Ding, who stressed that the daily number of death cases is significantly higher than in Brazil, where the situation with the number of newly infected people is really serious.
“Eastern Europe and the Balkans have really insane levels of coronavirus mortality. If we make the comparison, the mortality rate in Brazil per million inhabitants is about 13. Hungary, BiH, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Montenegro have higher mortality rates than Brazil,” the epidemiologist wrote.
Even though the number of new infections in BiH is lower, the number of deaths still represents a worrying fact. Just in the last 24 hours, 61 people have died from the effects of coronavirus in the country.
In recent days, around 80 to as many as 99 deaths were registered in our country, Klix
