Updated October 16, 2026.

This archive preserves the context of a 2021 pandemic travel article. Its travel advice and epidemiological figures are no longer current.

What the 2021 article covered

The article, dated 3 November 2021, reported case numbers in Istria, compared figures across countries and described the colours on the ECDC epidemiological map. It also gave instructions on registering arrivals, reasons for crossing the border, and testing and quarantine on returning to Austria and Slovenia.

The change to entry conditions in 2022

From 1 May 2022, Croatia lifted epidemiological entry restrictions for foreign nationals. That dated change concerned the epidemiological conditions then in force, not all other requirements for crossing the border.
