August 20, 2020 – The United Kingdom has put Croatia on the quarantine list due to the deteriorating epidemiological situation in the country.
Vecernji List reports that as it was announced from the local Ministry of Transport, British tourists and others staying in Croatia are invited to return home immediately because the mandatory 14-day isolation for all returnees from Croatia begins to apply.
Data shows we need to remove Croatia, Austria and Trinidad & Tobago from our list of #coronavirus Travel Corridors to keep infection rates DOWN. If you arrive in the UK after 0400 Saturday from these destinations, you will need to self-isolate for 14 days.

According to information from the UK, there are currently 20,000 tourists from that country in Croatia. Britain views Croatia as a whole, without regional or county demarcations, and warns that the situation has deteriorated dramatically compared to three weeks ago.
They refer to the latest data from the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, according to which Croatia has recorded 37.7 confirmed infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the last two weeks. For comparison, Britain records 21.2 infected, Slovenia 12.8, and Sweden 39.5.
