Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. was not affected only by COVID 19, it was affected by a 5.5 magnitude earthquake measured by Richer on March 22nd, but has recovered beautifully. All the buildings were inspected and repaired and for the past two weeks, people are living normally. Public transportation is working as usual but with one new rule; you need to disinfect your hands when entering the bus, tram, ferry or the train. Cities like Split and Trogir, which are located on Dalmatian Coast, are also getting back on track. Mostly everything is open, but there are no so many tourists right now. The nearby Airport is having more flights on a daily basis, so we are expecting more tourists at the beginning of July.
Since the weather is sunny and warm people are going out more and spending time outdoors. Tourists are coming and can enjoy all the Croatian beauty. Plitvice National Park is not crowded as usual but is getting there. The same situation is with Krka Waterfalls, not so crowded which means it’s the best time to visit it and enjoy peacefully in every moment in the park.
Currently, the number of infected people in Croatia is continuing, but every few days, the number has fallen to 1-2 people nationwide, which is fortunately low. As of 14:00 on June 14, there are 11 patients nationwide. The Croatian government continues to maintain a physical distance of 1 m outdoors, 2 m indoors, and to wash hands and wear masks with others. From June 15th, entry from all EU countries has returned to normal. Currently, entry from Japan is scheduled to resume on July 1.
Until the week before last, it seemed that customers were paying close attention to each other at the supermarket cash register, etc., but they are returning to normal from last weekend. Few mask wearers are seen. However, the disinfectant solution is installed at the entrance of various facilities and is still used. Markets and outdoor cafes are also crowded with people, and vacationers from Western Europe are returning and are regaining bustle.
