As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, Plenkovic pointed out that today, the Croatian Civil Protection Directorate will hold a conference to talk in more detail about the previously announced introduction of the Croatian covid pass in state and public services from Monday.
“Vaccination is free, testing and obtaining a Croatian covid pass is free. The state, which is our common money, has made everything available to people, and it’s now up to them to use it,” said the Prime Minister, before adding that we have coronavirus vaccines, and that he’s once again asking everyone to please get vaccinated and protect themselves and others.
He also commented on whether covid passes will be introduced in private companies as well as public and state bodies.
“We have to take care of everything, we need to make sure that people can continue to go to work, that production continues, that traffic works and that educational institutions remain in operation. These are the fourth elements that are most important to the government at this moment in time. Everything else that is economically important, from catering and hospitality to shopping malls, are all important but they aren’t the same as the above. It’s the choice of each of us as individuals whether to go where there are a lot of people around, where it could be crowded, stuffy and loud,” he said.
To the announcements and speculation circulating that the Croatian covid pass could be introduced in cafes, Plenkovic replied that “that will certainly not be the case”.
