The COVID-19 pandemic in North Macedonia was a part of the ongoing worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus was confirmed to have reached North Macedonia in February 2020.[3] The initial contagion in the country was mainly connected with the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy as there are circa 70,000 residents[4] of Italy from North Macedonia and resulted in many people returning to North Macedonia, bringing the virus with them.[5] As of 9 July, over 7,000 cases have been confirmed in the country, due to its second wave caused by family reunions during Eid al-Fitr among the Muslim minority and the overall re-opening of the country to organize the parliamentary elections.[6][7][8]
