This was stated by a member of the Crisis Staff, epidemiologist Darija Kisic Tepavcevic.
She emphasized that a preventive measure of physical distance must be applied in the open space - a distance of at least one meter.
"As for the closed space, the maximum number will be 500 people, instead of 100 as was allowed," Kisic said.

The lockdown in response to the coronavirus pandemic and the implementation of multiple measures promoting social distancing led to an 81 percent reduction of Greece's R number (which measures the rate of the virus' reproduction), according to a study by Greek researchers.

The situation in Scotland has been described as 'particularly acute', according to Jamie Jenkins, former head of analysis for the ONS.

Owners and managers of cafes, bars and restaurants are scrambling to prepare their premises for reopening next Monday following a 10-week closure imposed as part of the government's response to the coronavirus pandemic. The Hellenic Food Authority (EFET) has issued a guide for owners, employees and patrons on preventing the transmission of the virus.

The assessment of the epidemiological situation will be done by epidemiologists, but the increase in the number of infected is not worrying.
"At this moment, we are not talking about the opening of new COVID centers, but about the gradual closure. Every percentage of patients below 5 percent of those tested does not require the activation of new capacities," Dr Stevanovic said.
