14 people died in a fire Wednesday evening at a hospital treating coronavirus patients in North Macedonia, authorities said. "This is a very sad day," Health Minister Venko Filipce wrote on Twitter, adding that several patients had been "urgently transported" to a hospital in the capital Skopje. The fire broke out following an explosion in a Covid-19 clinic in Tetovo in the northwest of the Balkan country, said Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, who immediately headed to the town. "A huge tragedy has occurred in the Tetovo Covid-19 centre," Zaev said on Twitter. "An explosion caused a fire. The fire was extinguished but many lives were lost."
