In addition, the Minister of Health of Montenegro Elena Borovinich Bojovic added that at the expense of the state it will be provided hospital treatment for all touristswho, during their stay in Montenegro, become infected with coronavirus or get sick with COVID-19.
Another pleasant bonus for tourists and residents of Montenegro was the decision to abolition of curfewwhich previously operated from midnight to 5 am. Thus, a step was taken towards the complete abolition of epidemiological measures.
Thanks to a new solution all restrictions are removed for movement between municipalities. Until now, it has been banned on weekends. Live music is now also allowed on café terraces from 19:00 pm to 22:00 pm, while other obligations to wear protective masks outdoors and indoors and measures to ban gatherings remain.
In the first three months of 2021, Montenegro was at the top of the ranking of countries in the world in terms of the number of active cases of coronavirus infection. However, due to the introduction of strict epidemiological measures in mid-March, which included the closure of educational institutions, restaurants, gyms, fitness centers and shopping centers, the number of active infections fell from a maximum of 10 thousand patients to one and a half thousand. The number of infected people for the second week in a row is less than a hundred people a day.
