COVID-19 News Highlights

In Split-Dalmatia County, the entire class of a Split gymnasium is in self-isolation while waiting for COVID-19 test results. One whole class of the 2nd grammar school in Split is in self-isolation because one student showed symptoms of COVID-19 and was tested. While waiting for the results, the entire class and teachers are in self-isolation.
In Istra County, self-isolation measures for positive students were determined for 2 grades and teaching staff from Buzet (Primary School V. Gržalja Buzet and Secondary School Buzet) who may have been exposed.
In Zagreb County, COVID-19 entered a kindergarten in Jastrebarsko (positive employee), a kindergarten in Velika Gorica (positive employee) and a home for the elderly and infirm in Vrbovečka Dubrava (positive employee).
In Karlovac County, one educator at Novi Centar kindergarten was confirmed to have COVID-19 on Thursday, which is why the children and employees were removed from the kindergarten, and the space will be disinfected.
In Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, restaurants and bars closed for one hour to encourage an urgent response by authorities to preserve jobs and prevent a collapse of the economy. The action is called “5 to 12” and was initiated by the Association of Caterers of Kvarner and Istria. Their goal is to save the livelihoods of thousands of employees in the sector, and to encourage citizens and caterers to show solidarity, the association reported. They are also asking for a reduction in VAT on food.
More Croatia counties are implementing safety measures in an attempt to control the transmission of COVID-19. Those include reducing the number of participants at weddings, funerals, wakes, and other private and public events. A full summary of implemented county measures can be found here.

COVID-19 PCR Test or Self-Isolation Required for Third County Nationals

This applies to third country national passengers entering Croatia for permitted tourism or other business reasons or who have other economic interests, as well as people travelling for educational purposes.

These passengers may enter Croatia without the obligation of self-isolation upon presentation of a negative nasal and pharynx swab test for COVID-19, not older than 48 hours (starting from the time of taking the swab until arrival at the border crossing), or with the obligation of 14 days quarantine/self-isolation if they do not have a negative PCR test.

If third-country nationals have a test older than 48 hours upon entering Croatia, they will be allowed to enter Croatia. However, they will be required to self-isolate and test again in Croatia at their own expense. The above also applies to passengers and crew members on yachts. Persons who do not present a negative PCR test result are subject to a mandatory 14-day quarantine/self-isolation measure.

Persons who have a negative PCR test, and are on the self-isolation list, whether they’ve been on the list for seven days or have re-tested because they had a test older than 48 hours when entering Croatia, are to be removed from the self-isolation list.
