A set of new measures of the Republic Crisis HQ set up to prevent the spread of coronavirus will take effect tomorrow, July 17, and one of them is the mandatory wearing of masks outdoors when it is not possible to maintain a physical distance of 1.5 meters, such as in queues in front of stores, pharmacies, and bus and train stops.

Recommended

Namely, that measure refers to the territory of the entire country, rather than only to the cities and municipalities where an emergency situation has been declared.

The recommendation of medical professionals is to wear protective masks in all other outdoor public places as well.

Starting tomorrow, gatherings of more than 10 people in open and closed spaces in the territory of entire Serbia will be banned, regardless of whether an emergency situation has been declared in a certain municipality or city.

The distance between those gathered in public spaces must be at least 1.5 meters, that is, each person must occupy a minimum of four square meters.

Another new measure is the obligatory wearing of masks indoors in the territory of the entire country, which was until now obligatory only in certain cities and municipalities.
