One of the cases refers to a man and a woman who had spent time in Austria where they had contact with a person who would later test positive for the virus in Croatia. The other case refers to a man and a woman who had spent time in Slovenia and also had contact with a person who contracted the virus.

All four reported to authorities, Seranic said, adding that they all feel good for now.

Eight people have tested positive until now in Republika Srpska (RS) and three in the other semi-autonomous entity, the Federation (FBiH).

The first and second coronavirus cases in Bosnia were confirmed last Tuesday – a father and son who had spent time in Italy.
