Abstract
The corona virus pandemic officially started in Serbia on the 5th of March when the Ministry of Health announced the country’s first case – a 43 year-old man who travelled to Serbia from Hungary. As of the 17th April, the COVID-19 record in Serbia is as follows: 29,472 tested individuals, 5,318 confirmed cases, 443 recoveries and 103 deaths. It is worth mentioning that the country has a relatively high number of infected healthcare staff, which amounts to 12% (616) of the total number of the infected. With a relatively low mortality per absolute number of cases (1.9%) Serbia’s record is good, even though the country has still not seen the much expected ‘flattening of the curve’.
