ZAGREB, 28 January 2021 - Prime Minister Andrej Plenković on Thursday announced a mild easing of epidemiological restrictions in two sectors - education and sports.
"Following discussions in the government and with the national COVID-19 response team, we are in a position, owing to our citizens' responsible behaviour as well as the measures taken, to announce a relaxation of epidemiological restrictions but only in two sectors," Plenković said at a government session.
There is a possibility for primary school pupils in grades 5-8 to start having face-to-face classes again and additional sports activities could be allowed, notably those taking place outdoors, he said.
The anti-epidemic measures will be reviewed in mid-February, depending on how the epidemiological situation develops, said Plenković.
