After the National Civil Protection Headquarters of the Republic of Croatia announced a new set of COVID-19 measures for bars and nightclubs, the epidemic situation in Croatia is stable and favourable.
The new measures include shortened working hours until midnight and to only operate in open spaces. The new recommendations also outline that the use of dance floors is not recommended, and dancefloor space in nightclubs is to be used for seating tables with a minimum distance of 1.5 m.
Last week, the National Civil Protection Headquarters introduced new measures and recommendations for the operation of catering facilities with special emphasis on nightclubs with the aim of protecting the health of the guests from all parts of Europe, monitoring is continuous, and the situation is under control. The entire tourism industry in Croatia is behaving responsibly and adhering to the prescribed epidemiological measures?, said Kristjan Stani?i?, general director of the Croatian National Tourist Board, emphasising that the five million foreign tourists who have visited Croatian destinations so far this year confirm the fact that Croatia is perceived as a safe tourist destination.
The directorate of civil protection of the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Croatia, in cooperation with civil protection headquarters of cities and municipalities, is carrying out intensified monitoring of the implementation of decisions of the National Civil Protection Headquarters and recommendations of the Croatian Institute of Public Health.
According to the latest data in the Republic of Croatia, there are 1371 active COVID cases, of which only 39% is recorded on the coast, where the largest number of foreign tourists stay. This means that in most coastal areas and on the islands the epidemiological picture is favourable, and can be considered safe.
