Analysis of official data in the region on the coronavirus epidemic: Croatia and Serbia have content web portals, portals from two BH entities with conflicting data

We analyzed portals in the region reporting the number of coronavirus infected in their countries. The quality and quantity of these content, as well as the speed of updating data on official web portals for individual countries in the region.

Serbia and Croatia have separate portals with domain names, as well as Republika Srpska and FBiH, while Montenegro publishes the data on the page: Institute of Public Health of Montenegro. Information on all pages is usually updated every 24 hours. In addition to Montenegro, all states and entities listed have a specific domain where information on the number of infected, tested, cured and died of Covid 19, a disease caused by coronavirus, is published and updated.

On the official site of the FBiH Institute of Public Health at the link https://www.zzjzfbih.ba/daily-report-of-confirmed-cases-covid-19-u-fbih/, there is a domain https: // covid- 19.ba/.

On this page, apart from the interactive map and statistics on the number of tested, infected, cured with charts and interactive map, there is no other data, not even data related to the number of infected at the state level of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Official data from the pages of the two entities differ: The FBiH page states that the FBiH has 543 infected persons, while on the RS page that number is 557. We did not find an official page at the state level of BiH, where this data would be combined to know the exact number tested and diseased at the state level, since entity data are not consistent.

Information from a web site sponsored by the Ministry of Health of Serbia and the Institute of Public Health of Serbia: https://covid19.rs/ comprehensively reports on the number of people tested, infected, recovered and killed since Covid 19.
