Recommendations for beach safety amid pandemic

In order to prevent potential COVID-19 transmission at the beaches, the Ministry of Health has developed recommendations.

As advised by the Ministry, to raise awareness about the risks of COVID-19, relevant information should be displayed at visible places.

The Ministry also recommends coastline pedestrian paths, division of the beaches into zones, periodic clean-up of the shoreline. The cleaner should be equipped with gloves and a face mask.

According to the recommendations, soft, absorbent covers for sunbeds are prohibited. Water transport – scooter, bicycle, boat, as well as sunbeds, umbrellas and other attributes should be disinfected properly on a regular basis. Also, outdoor shower/baths should be disinfected every two hours.

The Ministry of Health urges citizens, not to forget social-distancing rules.
