The inhabitants of Zagreb were asked to stay at home from behind the coronavirus, but after the earthquake they called for urgently to take the streets. Photos

On the morning of March 22, an earthquake occurred in Zagreb, which has become the most destructive for the capital of Croatia over the past 140 years. According to the authorities, the magnitude of the underground shocks reached 5.3. As a result, two teenagers were injured. One of them, discovered under the rubble of the building, was hospitalized in critical condition. Out of the fears of repeated shocks, the government recommended that residents hastily leave their homes, but at the same time maintain a distance so as not to pose a threat to coronavirus infection. “The situation is contradictory. We asked people to stay at home in order to avoid the spread of coronavirus, and now we advise them to leave the house, ”the country's Prime Minister Andrei Passkovich said at a press conference. In Croatia, 206 cases of infection with a new coronavirus infection are registered. One person died.
