摘要
萨拉热窝是波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的首都,萨拉热窝州人口为438443人。萨拉热窝州的第一例COVID-19病例发生在3月20日。那天,我们有三个阳性病例。在新冠肺炎疫情在萨拉热窝州开始流行的这几天,约有2500名市民在家中进行自我隔离。本文的目的是展示萨拉热窝州在抗击COVID-19感染方面的历程,为阻止感染传播而采取的措施的影响,并比较封锁前后的统计数据。方法:对2020年3月- 7月每日新增病例进行分析,随访时间不少于14天。所有数据均使用SPSS 25.0 (IBM公司2019年发布)进行分析。IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, NY: IBM Corp.)和MS Office 2019套件(Excel)。为了比较,我们使用了卡方检验。结果:3月初至5月25日10周内,萨拉热窝州共发生COVID-19感染病例113例。进行的测试次数为7515次。总的来说,加上阳性的重新检测,我们只有161例阳性检测,占所有分析检测的2.14%。其中,男性58例(51.3%),女性55例(48.7%)。年龄分布方面,65岁以下占91.1%。结论:选择最佳的抗疫方法很难确定。呆在家里会降低感染率,但从长远来看,这是不可持续的。也许我们在萨拉热窝采取的混合方法是最好的选择。抗击一种流行病不能成为其他流行病的根源。
Introduction: Sarajevo is the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the population in Canton Sarajevo of 438,443 people. The first cases of COVID-19 in Canton Sarajevo were on 20th March. On that day, we had three positive cases. These days at the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic in Canton of Sarajevo around 2500 citizens were in self-isolation at home. The aim of this paper is to show the journey of Canton Sarajevo in the fight against COVID-19 infection, the impact of measurements that were taken to stop the infection spreading and to compare pre- and post-lockdown stats.Methods: During the period March-July 2020, we have analyzed daily newly cases and followed them through the period of at least 14 days. All data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 (IBM Corp. Released in 2019. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, NY: IBM Corp.) and MS Office 2019 suite (Excel). For comparison, we have used the Chi-square test.Results: In the period of 10 weeks from the beginning of March to the 25th of May in Canton of Sarajevo, we had a total of 113 cases of COVID-19 infection. The number of conducted tests was 7515. In total, with positive retests, we had only 161 positive tests, which is 2.14% of all analyzed tests. From that number of patients, 58 (51.3%) were male and 55 (48.7%) were female. Regarding age distribution, under 65 years were 91.1% of patients.Conclusion: Choosing the best method to fight against COVID-19 is hard to determine. Staying at home would decrease the infection rate, but in the long term, it is not sustainable. Perhaps the mix of methods that we had in Sarajevo is the best option. Fighting against one epidemic cannot be the source for other epidemics.
