From the Japanese Embassy in Belgrade
On August 14, the Serbian government announced new regulatory measures at an official press conference.
From 15th August, immigrants from Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia and Northern Macedonia will be required to submit proof of negative PCR test results within 48 hours prior to entry. Please be aware of this if you are going to enter Serbia from that country (excluding Japanese nationals who have a permanent residence or long-term residence status).
Currently, more than 10 people are regulated, so demonstrations are sporadic, but they are small and peaceful.
As the maximum temperature during the day is over 30 degrees Celsius, the number of people passing by during the day is decreasing. After the evening, cafes and other places have been crowded with people since the sun and heat have subsided.
According to the announcement by the Ministry of Health on July 21, yesterday, 4,722 infected people are being treated nationwide, of which 198 are wearing a respirator.
As we have already announced, the following measures have been effective from July 17th.
(1) Expand the target of indoor mask wearing (introduced in Belgrade city) to the whole area of Serbia
(2) Obligate to wear masks in places where sufficient distance can not be secured even outdoors (shop waiting line, bus stop, etc.)
(3) Wearing a mask is recommended even in other outdoor places
(4) Expanding the scope of the ban on meetings of more than 10 people in public places (already introduced in Belgrade city) to all areas of Serbia, whether indoors or outdoors
(5) In public places, keep a social distance of 1.5 meters or more and secure a space of at least 4 square meters per person.
It should be noted that the demo that was launched nationwide last week has been calming and has been calming since July 12.
The central streets such as the main street of Belgrade depend on the time of day, but it is still quiet this week so far.
