Between March 5 and July 25, 2020, the total number of SARS-CoV-2 confirmed cases in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH) was 10 090 corresponding to a cumulative incidence rate of 285.7 per 100 000 population. Demographic and clinical information on all the cases along with exposure and contact information was collected using a standardized case report form. In suspected SARS-CoV-2 cases, respiratory specimens were collected and tested by real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) assay. The dynamic of the outbreak was summarized using epidemiological curves, instantaneous reproduction number Rt and interactive choropleth maps for geographical distribution and spread. The rate of hospitalization was 14.0% (790/5646) in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBH) and 6.2% (267/4299) in Republic of Srpska (RS). The death rate was 2.2% (122/5646) in FBH and 3.6% in the RS (155/4299). After the authorities lifted mandatory quarantine restrictions, the basic reproduction number increased from 1.13 on May, the 20th to 1.72 on May the 31st. The outbreak concerns both entities, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska, and it is more pronounced in those aged 20-44 years. It is important to develop the communication and emergency plan for the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in BH, including the mechanisms to allow the ongoing notification and updates at the national level.

波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的SARS-CoV-2病毒爆发和紧急公共卫生措施：2020年1月至7月。

在2020年3月5日至7月25日之间，波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那（BH）的SARS-CoV-2确诊病例总数为10 090，对应每10万人中的累积发病率为285.7。使用标准病例报告表收集了所有病例的人口统计学和临床​​信息，以及接触和接触信息。在疑似SARS-CoV-2病例中，收集呼吸道标本并通过实时逆转录酶聚合酶链反应（rRT-PCR）分析进行测试。使用流行病学曲线，瞬时繁殖数Rt和交互式地理分布图来概述爆发的动态。波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那联邦（FBH）的住院率为14.0％（790/5646），斯普斯卡共和国（RS）的住院率为6.2％（267/4299）。死亡率是2。FBH为2％（122/5646），RS（155/4299）为3.6％。当局取消了强制性检疫限制后，基本繁殖数量从5月20日的1.13增加到5月31日的1.72。疫情涉及波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那联邦和斯普斯卡共和国两个实体，在20-44岁的人群中更为明显。重要的是要为波黑的SARS-CoV-2爆发制定沟通和应急计划，包括允许在国家层面持续进行通知和更新的机制。在20-44岁的人群中更为明显。重要的是要为波黑的SARS-CoV-2爆发制定沟通和应急计划，包括允许在国家层面持续进行通知和更新的机制。在20-44岁的人群中更为明显。重要的是要为波黑的SARS-CoV-2爆发制定沟通和应急计划，包括允许在国家层面持续进行通知和更新的机制。
