Switzerland announces the first deaths in Koruna, and Bosnia announces the first two injuries

Arab weather - Police in the western region of Switzerland said on Thursday that a seventy-four-year-old woman had died after being infected with the emerging coronavirus, the first death in the country due to the rapidly spreading disease.

The police added that the woman had been in a hospital in Vaud Province since Tuesday. The authorities stated that she was suffering from a chronic disease.

In Bosnia, Allen Siranic, the health minister in the largely autonomous republic of Bosnia, confirmed on Thursday the emergence of the first two cases of the emerging coronavirus, a middle-aged man who recently visited Italy and his child.

Serranic added that the injury of the man, who returned from Italy late last month, was confirmed earlier in the week and was in a stable and isolated condition in a hospital in Banja Luka.

"The result of his wife's examination was negative ... but the result of his child's examination was positive last night," he told a news conference.

"This is the first case of infection, but that was not unexpected, it was expected after the outbreak in Italy and it is one of our biggest partners in trade," Serranic said.

Bosnia is divided into two regions, one of which is dominated by Serbs, while the other is Croats and Muslims by Bosniaks.

The global outbreak of the Coronavirus, which started in December in China, has reached nearly 80 countries and regions and claimed more than 3,000 lives.
