As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, the Austrian DocLX company, which is the organiser of travel and other similar events, will apply an innovative security concept to prevent the spread of the coronavirus so that Austrian graduates can celebrate the end of their school year right here in Croatia safely, the company said in a statement.
The concept of the ”safety bubble” which is successfully used in competitive sports, will provide the group of Austrian graduates with a safe environment while also protecting the local community from the spread of the novel virus which has dominated the world since the very beginning of 2020.
Strict safety protocols were developed by the Austrian DocLK company together with numerous renowned experts and advisers of the Austrian Federal Government, including Meduni-Wien, Professor Hans-Peter Hutter, as well as respected epidemiologist Professor Michael Kandy.
The complete concept of safety and prevention during the ongoing pandemic is being implemented on the Lanterna peninsula in Istria on 630,000 square metres thanks to the Austrian DocLX company’s safety concept. Their concept is otherwise based on extensive testing and the creation of the aforementioned ”safety bubble”. Each participant will be tested using a PCR test two days before their departure, then immediately before their departure or before boarding the bus itself.
Every other day during the event, all of the high school graduates and employees will continue to be tested using the mandatory PCR test, considered to be the gold standard in detecting the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the nose and throat. Approximately 630,000 square metres of leased land on the peninsula has only one access road leading to it that is completely closed off to unauthorised persons.
Preventive measures have been developed and implemented in close coordination with the Austrian and Croatian health authorities and have been formally approved for the group of graduates from Austria.
