ZAGREB, 24 February 2021 - The Istria County civil protection authority asked the national COVID-19 response team on Wednesday to adopt a decision on the reopening of bars with outdoor terraces in the county as of 1 March.
The authority's chief Dino Kozlevac said they had "responsibly talked" with the heads of the county Chamber of Trades and Crafts and Hospitality Guild.
He said all COVID measures should be adopted responsibly and cautiously because "the situation around us isn't good and some countries, notably in the east, are locking down."
In the past 24 hours, the Istria County Public Health Institute tested 344 swabs for COVID-19 and six came back positive. The county has 37 active cases of infection and 809 people in self-isolation.
