Chief epidemiologist: If numbers keep rising, tighter measures can be reinstated

Speaking on Croatian Radio, he said the epidemiological situation had deteriorated due to the third wave of the pandemic and the more contagious new variants, but that warmer weather would now slow down the spread of infection by air.

If numbers keep rising, some tighter restrictions can be reinstated

However, if the current rise in new cases and hospitalisations continues, some of the tight restrictions that were imposed on 27 November could be reinstated, Capak said.

He underlined the need to reduce gatherings and mobility as much as possible.
