Quake adds to Croatia woes

A 5.3-magnitude earthquake tore down chunks of buildings in Zagreb yesterday as authorities warned residents not to gather and further spread the coronavirus.

The quake, the most powerful to strike the Croatian capital in nearly 140 years according to Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, jolted the city at around 6am.

Meanwhile, authorities urged citizens not to gather in groups outside to avoid further spreading the new coronavirus, after the country had recorded more than 200 infections.
