Civil Protection Headquarters Hint at New COVID-19 Measures for Shops in Croatia

December 7, 2020 – In their regular press conference held this morning, the National Civil Protection Headquarters hinted at new COVID-19 measures for shops in Croatia, which we could see implemented already this week. 

Croatia recorded 1886 new COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours and the number of active cases in the country today is 22,124. Among them, 2629 patients are in hospital, of which 277 are on respirators. 59 people died.

Since February 25, 2020, when the first case was recorded in Croatia, a total of 152,239 people infected have been recorded to date, of which 2,233 have died. A total of 127,882 people recovered, of which 3,443 in the last 24 hours. There are currently 52,764 people in self-isolation.

To date, a total of 816,241 people have been tested, of which 5,356 in the last 24 hours.

“A week ago we had 1830, and 2 weeks ago 1973 new cases, so we are staying at the same numbers. Our incidence rate is 1154 per 100,000 in the last 14 days, which puts us in 26th place of EU countries, and only Luxembourg has a higher incidence rate. We are 14th in terms of mortality, at 515 per million inhabitants.

On Saturday, 136,000 rapid antigen tests were delivered to us. 80,000 were distributed to homes for the elderly. This will assess the epidemiological situation in the homes,” the Headquarters revealed at the beginning of the press conference. 

“In the last 24 hours, inspectors carried out 2,042 inspections of business entities, and public gatherings, issued 544 warnings, and one fine of HRK 30,000. They carried out 1,788 inspections, and 265 irregularities were found. Police officers inspected 8,743 facilities, and seven violations of measures were found. 63 citizens who violated self-isolation measures were identified, three criminal charges will be filed,” said Davor Bozinovic.

The Headquarters on further restricting customers in stores

“Talks are being held, they are being run very well, and I’m sure this week will bear fruit. There will certainly be some new decision, and it will be adjusted to the size of the store. The numbers are not specified. It could be one person per 10 m2,” the Headquarters said.

About easing measures

“A document on easing measures is being drafted. Our average incidence rate is more than a thousand, some figures mentioned in Europe for easing measures are about 15 to 20 times lower. Our incidence is too high to discuss easing measures. It is being considered which measures could be relaxed and at what figures,”  Capak said.

More on this soon.
