The Crisis Staff of the Federal Ministry of Health proposed today to the Federation of BiH Government to accept a new measure according to which wearing a mask outdoors and indoors is no longer mandatory, confirmed the Assistant Federal Minister of Health Goran Cerkez. This decision will be in force if it is approved by the Government at its session on Thursday.
He pointed out that wearing masks will be mandatory in public transport, then for everyone who works in health and social, but also in penitentiary institutions. He emphasized that they still recommend wearing masks to elderly people who are still at risk, as well as unvaccinated people.
Cerkez pointed out that the gathering of up to 300 people is allowed, and if that number is higher, it is necessary to have evidence of the VPT rule.
Speaking about catering facilities, he said that the rule of a distance of two meters between the tables is now valid, which removes the numerical restrictions. Visitors to discos and nightclubs must, in addition to respecting the distance, also respect a VPT rule.
He added that from now on, theaters and cinemas will be able to work with 50 percent of their capacity, while the same rule applies at sports competitions, except indoors where the VPT rule applies.
Cerkez pointed out that the cantons have the possibility to adopt more restrictive measures and that they will monitor the situation and continue to relax the measures.
“The pandemic has not passed yet, the recommendations should be followed, especially the elderly and unvaccinated people,” Cerkez concluded.
