As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, the Croatian Minister of Health, Vili Beros, has spoken about the topic in further detail at a recently held press conference of the National Civil Protection Directorate, which has become the daily norm since the beginning of 2020 when the virus struck the country.
“Bozinovic said that Beros is going to be the one do declare the pandemic end, at the suggestion of the Croatian Institute of Public Health. That’s exactly right. That will happen when we deveop enough immunity to the point where the profession says that we’re safe from the spread of the virus.
“Today’s measures are a turning point and are indeed finally leading us towards the end of the coronavirus pandemic. Let’s look around, in Europe we’re witnessing events that remind us of the old normal, covid certificates are working on guaranteeing our safety, we’re finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but we all need to get vaccinated,” he added.
“We’ve been noticing that some of our fellow citizens are planning to be vaccinated only in autumn, that’s a wrong approach, at this moment in time, it’s known that the vaccine offers protection from the virus for at least eight months. We’re doing something much more important – by vaccinating people we’re preventing the appearance of a new wave of infection by the time autumn rolls around,” Vili Beros concluded, having confirmed that he will be the one to declare the pandemic end here in Croatia.
