At its session on Wednesday, the Government approved an update to the anti-pandemic measures under which the OTP, OP and OP+ modes with their capacity limits will be scrapped as of February 26. This initial period of eased anti-pandemic measures will be in effect until March 25. According to the approved material tabled by the Health Ministry, the maximum capacity is to be increased to 500 people or a maximum of 50 per cent of the capacity for low- and medium-risk events, such as church services, sports events or cultural events, as of February 26. For high-risk events, such as weddings or funerals, the maximum capacity will be 50 people, while in both cases the basic mode [with non-vaccinated people allowed to enter] will be in place. The basic mode will also apply to sports competitions and training with a capacity limit of up to 100 athletes. Regardless of vaccinations and testing, the public will also have access to fitness, wellness, aqua parks or spa facilities. A respiratory face mask is still mandatory indoors and outdoors at mass events as well as outdoors at a distance of up to two metres from other people. The second phase of easing the measures will begin on March 26, when capacity restrictions will be lifted and the obligation to wear a respirator or face mask will be adjusted.
