ZAGREB, July 15, 2020 – Wearing face masks has become mandatory in companies and state institutions in Croatia as of today, both for staff and for customers, the national coronavirus crisis response team told a press conference on Wednesday.
The earlier decision requiring masks in retails shops and restaurants has now been expanded to include post offices, banks and all services involving close contact, such as hairdressers or nail technicians, the head of the Croatian Institute of Public Health, Krunoslav Capak, said.
He said that they had not yet received a reply from Czech health authorities whether Czech tourists had contracted the virus in Croatia or not. He said that among 16 Czech tourists staying in Sisak-Moslavina County one was positive and wanted to remain in Croatia until he recovered while the others want to return home.
The national response team has also been notified that a Swiss family staying in a holiday apartment in Split-Dalmatia County has also become infected, but the team has not contacted them yet and does not know how they contracted the virus.
