The number of confirmed cases of Coronavirus in Albania has jumped to 51, an increase of nine since yesterday.
Four of them are medical staff at the hospital in Tirana. A total of 34 are in the capital, 5 in Durres, 2 in Lushnje, 2 in Elbasan, 6 in Fier, and 2 in Rrogozhine.
The government is appealing to people to stay home and not go out unless completely necessary.
"The only security we have is our ability to adapt."
That the spread of the new coronavirus would affect Albania was a certainty as soon as the first outbreaks were identified in Lombardy and Veneto. The 19 flights that connect the two countries everyday would do the rest.
The other certainty concerned the limits of the Albanian healthcare system. In the country there are just 200 respiratory machines, between public and private institutions, while hospitals are not equipped to adequately respond to a pandemic risk.
The few confirmed cases – at the moment only 64, all in central Albania – give hope that the spread can still be kept under control. However, two people have already died, and such hopes can be easily vanquished by COVID-19's incubation and transmission times anyway. According to the authorities, in fact, the wave is expected in the coming days.
Albania is in quarantine.
