ZAGREB, July 9, 2020 – The government on Thursday decided to reallocate HRK 30 million of budget funds to cover the costs of legal entities and civil protection operational forces mobilised to set up quarantine and out-of-hospital accommodation facilities and support quarantine facilities during the COVID-19 epidemic.
The Finance Ministry had made the recommendation, which the government adopted, to reallocate HRK 30 million from the 2020 budget, more specifically from the budget of the Economy Ministry’s directorate for commodity reserves.
That will secure funds required to settle the costs of legal entities and civil protection forces mobilised to set up quarantine and out-of-hospital accommodation facilities and support the work of quarantine units by providing food supplies, transport, disinfectants and the like in an effort to curb the COVID-19 epidemic, Finance Minister Zdravko Maric told the cabinet.
The civil protection authority mobilised 113 legal entities and operational civil protection personnel with the aim of setting up quarantine and out-of-hospital facilities and it is estimated that the cost of those operations amounts to HRK 30 million.
