Health authorities in Bosnia’s two semi-autonomous regions have reported that more than a dozen people tested positive for the coronavirus throughout the past 24 hours, bringing the total of those infected in the country to 2,338, according to official government data published on Wednesday.

A total of 136 people have now died due to Covid-19 since the virus came to the country in March, while 1,557 have recovered.

Bosnian authorities have been gradually lifting the measures introduced to combat the spread of the virus since the end of April, including restrictions on movement for citizens, as the coronavirus curve seems to be flattening.

Authorities in the Serb-majority region, Republika Srpska (RS), are now discussing whether to lift the curfew while the other region, the Federation (FBiH), has already done so.

There are currently 1306 people infected in the RS, while that number in FBiH is 1012. Another 20 are infected in the Brcko District, which does not belong to either of the semi-autonomous entities.  

Bosnia has tested 55,624 of its citizens for the coronavirus so far.
