“To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Croatian authorities are tightening entry controls against travelers from the UK, Cyprus and Russia,” the agency’s website said in a statement.

It is noted that “from July 26, 2021, everyone arriving from these countries, regardless of their vaccination status or previous coronavirus infection, will in any case need to present a negative result of a PCR test done no earlier than 72 hours before crossing the border, or the result of a rapid antigen test (not to be confused with an antibody test!) taken no earlier than 48 hours before entry. "

ATOR said that “children under 12 years old do not need to be tested, provided that the accompanying adults have the appropriate certificates of tests for COVID-19.

"Also, from that date, the possibility of taking coronavirus tests after arriving in Croatia, subject to isolation at the destination, is canceled," the association added.

Earlier it became known that Russia is extending the suspension of flights with Tanzania until August 17 inclusive.
