ZAGREB, Oct 27, 2020 - Assistant Croatian Institute of Public Health director Marija Bubas said on Tuesday that 80% of those infected with coronavirus were in the active population and that the national COVID response team's new protection measures were in force as of today.
Speaking on public television, she said public gatherings with more than 50 people were no longer possible, a maximum 30 people were allowed at weddings and funerals, and 15 at other private gatherings.
Bubas said the exception were theatres, cinemas and religious gatherings.
The measures will be in force the next 14 days, longer if necessary, she added.
Bubas said the new measures encouraged work from home because 80% of those infected were in the active population.
She said masks should be worn at cemeteries in the coming days because many people would visit them on the occasion of All Saints' Day.
