ZAGREB, 26 Aug (Hina) – The whole territory of Croatia is orange on the updated COVID map produced by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) on Thursday.
Thus, the coastal areas remain orange, however, the parts of the interior of the country, that were green on the previous map, have now turned orange.
The ECDC publishes maps every Thursday in support of the EU Council Recommendation on a coordinated approach to the restriction of free movement in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which was adopted by EU Member States on 13 October 2020 and amended on 28 January 2021 and 14 June 2021. The maps are based on data reported by EU Member States to the European Surveillance System database by 23:59 every Tuesday.
Updated 🚦 maps are online!
