Croatia, Greece, Bulgaria: these countries stand for vacation in Germany.

An overview.

    *: The

    second corona wave

    *

    is also hit

Munich -

They have been popular

among

Germans'

travel destinations

for years:

Croatia

and

Greece

.

But the

Balkan Peninsula

is also being dominated by the

coronavirus pandemic

- both in terms of health policy and economically.

Greece

has

imposed

a drastic

Covid-19 lockdown

, Croatia is

struggling

with high

numbers of corona cases

.

How is the situation as of November 12th?

And which country chooses which measures?

An overview (selected countries):

Corona in Greece: In lockdown, citizens are only allowed outside the door by SMS

When the

7-day incidence

in

Greece

- figuratively speaking - approached the 100 mark in seven-mile boots, the government of

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis cracked down in

early November: Lockdown!

And not light, but with strict measures.

The

Ippen Digital Zentralredaktion

asked around.

"The authorities are much stricter than in Germany," say Greeks who live in

Munich

.

What do you mean by that?

  • In

    Greece, there

    is

    a nationwide nightly

    curfew

    between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.

    due to

    Corona

    .

  • Citizens are only allowed outside the door during the day if they

    ask

    the authorities

    for permission

    via

    SMS

    .

    The police

    strictly

    monitor compliance with the

    Covid-19 rules

    .

    Exceptions are, according to the

    picture,

    for example, visits to the doctor, support for those in need and individual outdoor sports.

  • Anyone who violates the

    Corona curfew

    must pay a fine of 300 euros.

    Since

    employees

    in

    Greece

    only earn several hundred euros on average, that is a lot.

  • Only

    supermarkets, pharmacies

    and essential shops are still open.

    A

    mask is required

    in public spaces throughout the country

    .

Corona in Croatia: The number of Covid 19 cases is at a consistently high level

Istria

and

Dalmatia

, the towns of Opatija or

Dubrovnik

, the islands of Pag or Korcula -

Croatia

is the destination of many tourists from Germany and Austria every year.

The

corona crisis

meet the tourism-dependent

Croatia

with most, loudly declared

tagesschau.de

Mario Holzner from the

Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies

.

Accordingly, there is a threat of a slump in the gross national product in the almost double-digit range.

There is no

lockdown

.

The number of daily

new corona infections

exceeded the

1000 mark for the first time around October 20.

Converted to around 4.3 million inhabitants, that's okay.

On November 11, the

7-day incidence was

399.2,

according to

n-tv.de

.

Corona in Montenegro: Blatant 7-day incidence on the Adriatic

Little

Montenegro

(620,000 inhabitants) is

an insider tip

for

holidays on the Adriatic

.

For example through the bay near

Kotor

, or for a party vacation in the beach town of

Budva

.

But the former Yugoslav country is

struggling

hard with

new corona infections

.

According to surveys by

n-tv.de

on November 11,

the

7-day incidence

of new infections was a

whopping 645.1.

Corona in Bulgaria: In times of Covid-19, doctors go out

Bulgaria

was one of the first countries to

opt

for new

restrictions

in the second wave of the

corona pandemic

.

These came into force at the end of October - and are initially valid for two weeks.

An extension is likely.

Corona restrictions in Bulgaria

Mask requirement

applies to public transport such as buses, trains and subway

High schools (upper level) and universities

online virtual distance learning

Sports events such as soccer games

only without a spectator

Night clubs, bars and discos

Interiors must remain closed

On Wednesday, November 11, the

7-day incidence

was a comparatively high 324.6.

And the country (around 7 million inhabitants) complains about another problem: Many doctors have emigrated to the West because of the better prospects, for example to Germany.

As

reported by

tagesschau.de

, there is a lack of

specialist staff

in the

intensive care units

.
