May 10, 2020 The third phase of relaxed measures brings the greatest normalization of life to date, according to Jutarnji List. Starting Monday morning, citizens can go to their favorite cafe, order coffee and leaf through the newspaper. Or go to a restaurant for lunch, and some children will return to school.<\/p>\n
Shopping malls will reopen and inter-county transportation and domestic flights will resume. National parks will open for excursionists, and groups can increase from five to ten people.<\/p>\n
Besides these already-announced concessions, driving schools can start working. Quarantine and self-isolation for international transport drivers will also cease.<\/p>\n
Also, after May 11, it is possible that there will be a complete abolition of e-passes, allowing Croats to roam the country unabated.<\/p>\n
Croatian officials decided catering businesses such as restaurants and cafes can use indoor spaces under certain conditions. Previous rules locked out businesses without terraces or limited space.<\/p>\n
Also, working hours can go until 11 p.m., two hours more than originally planned. But the extra time will go as much towards meeting new hygiene standards as it will to serving guests. The rules sound nearly militaristic.<\/p>\n
All tables must be empty by the time guests arrive. Utensils arrive after guests sit. Presumably, theyll already know their orders. The menus should stand out prominently at the entrance or other visible place in an appropriately plasticized cover.<\/p>\n
Croatias Civil Protection Directorate suggests guests enter only after when a previous group leaves the premises. The physical distance between individual groups of visitors must be at least one-and-a-half meters.<\/p>\n
Social distancing rules will limit the number of visitors and leave vast chunks of unused space. The tables should sit one-and-a-half meters apart. Larger groups of guests can sit together at tables, and the distance between them and other groups must be at least one-and-a-half meters.<\/p>\n
Visitors can also order a meal or drink in the restaurant to-go. When ordering, the physical distance of at least one-and-a-half meters between customers waiting in line still applies.<\/p>\n
It is also possible to serve standing guests if they keep a physical distance.<\/p>\n
After the departure of each group of guests, the table, chairs, and other surfaces that the guests touched must be wiped with disinfectant. Snacks cannot sit in communal bowls, nor can salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, and other spices stay on the tables.<\/p>\n
As for employees, they must adhere to all measures, hand-washing, and disinfection rules. They must notify the employer of any signs of illness or fever and not come to work.<\/p>\n
As for schools, lower grades start on Monday, and kindergartens are opening as well. The distance between the children should be two meters. There should be up to nine children in a class and one educator or teacher, or some other configuration limited to ten people.<\/p>\n
