New Decision on Using Medical Masks or Face Masks
The main component in this decision, which is due by the favorable epidemiological situation, is that the use of medical masks or face masks is an obligation only in circumstances that are still assessed as high risk, and in circumstances that are currently assessed as lower risk.
Masks will be required only for:
- Employees in the health care system, i.e. in health care institutions, companies that perform health care activities and private health care workers.
- Patients and all people who, for any reason, come to the premises of health care institutions and companies which perform health care activities and on the premises of private health care workers.
- Employees of social welfare institutions which provide accommodation services for the elderly and people with disabilities and visitors to beneficiaries.
In other cases, masks are not obligatory indoors, but the use of masks is recommended for:
- Drivers, employees and passengers on public transport.
- Commercial employees and customers.
- Employees in the hospitality industry who come into contact with guests or participate in the serving and preparation of food and beverages.
- Guests in indoor catering establishments, except while sitting in their seats and consuming food, drink or beverages.
- Employees of companies and institutions working with clients.
- Employees in service industries where they come into close contact with clients.
- Employees in offices where a physical distance of at least 2 meters cannot be ensured.
- For attendees of indoor religious ceremonies.
- Spectators at indoor sports competitions.
- Visitors to all social and public gatherings indoors (concerts, plays, etc.).
As before, face masks or medical masks do not have to be used in cases of recommended exemptions published on its website by the Croatian Institute of Public Health.
The main difference from the previous decision is that the use of masks will largely (except in circumstances where use is mandatory) depend on the individual assessment and responsibility of the individual, and not on supervision and sanctions. Original link here.
Croatia Travel & Entry Information
IMPORTANT: Please check COVID-19 boarding requirements with your airline(s) and airport(s) of transit when planning travel to Croatia! They may differ from Croatia entry requirements.
Entry Into Croatia from All Countries
Effective May 1, passengers coming from all countries will be allowed entry into Croatia without the need to present an EU Digital COVID Certificate or any other epidemiological certificate (test finding, vaccination certificate, etc.) and without determining self-isolation.
"Entry into the Republic of Croatia is allowed according to the conditions of entry which were valid before the COVID-19 epidemic, i.e. according to the conditions of the Schengen Border Guidelines and the Aliens Act, etc. Therefore entry is allowed without meeting any epidemiological conditions," according to the Ministry of the Interior.

Self-Isolation for COVID-19 Infected
Data on the decision to terminate the isolation are the date of onset of the first symptoms and signs of the disease and their duration, ie the date of testing (sampling) for SARS-CoV-2, depending on whether it is symptomatic or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. . The beginning of the symptoms of the disease, i.e. the day of taking a swab that is positive for asymptomatic infections, is counted as the zero day of the disease. Disruption of isolation is primarily based on the clinical picture and the passage of time since the onset of the disease, and exceptionally on test results.
Isolation of persons who have not been fully vaccinated or have not previously recovered from COVID-19 lasts for 10 days. Isolation of persons who have been fully vaccinated or who have previously recovered from COVID-19 lasts for 7 days, while the remaining 3 days it is necessary to consistently and correctly wear the mask in contact with other persons, limit contact with persons at increased risk of severe forms of COVID-19 and adhere to other epidemiological measures.
The reference point (zero day) is the date of onset of symptoms or the date of a positive finding, whichever is earlier.
A person, regardless of vaccination status and illness, may discontinue isolation upon receipt of a negative rapid antigen test (BAT) result performed no earlier than day 5 of isolation. Original document here.
