As of May 22, the requirement to wear protective masks outdoors has been lifted. In public indoor spaces and in queues (including outdoors), wearing a mask is still mandatory. Failure to wear a mask carries a minimum fine of 30 euros.
Thus, in line with the favorable epidemiological situation in Montenegro, the Ministry of Health has easedthe current measures. The new measures are in force until May 28.
“The incidence rates have decreased in all regions of Montenegro. The epidemiological situation remains most favorable in the southern region of Montenegro, where the 14-day cumulative incidence rate per 100,000 inhabitants has fallen below 100,”saidIgor Galić, Director of the Institute of Public Health.
Let us recall that the mass vaccination of Montenegro’s citizens began on May 4 and produced the following results: by May 19, 151,522 vaccine doses had been administered, of which 116,481 citizens had received the first dose, and 35,041 had been fully vaccinated.
“Montenegro has vaccinated a larger share of its population compared to Albania, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo when it comes to countries in the region, as well as compared to Bulgaria, an EU member state, Ukraine, and Moldova,” Igor Galić added.
