221,002 is the number of active infected, 12,291 patients are hospitalized, 1,497 of them are on ventilators. 

Vaccination is ongoing, with 1,920,347 people already vaccinated, of which 689,392 have already received their second vaccination. We are in the ascending branch of the third wave of the epidemic, with an increasing number of active infected and hospitalized patients, which is why the government has decided to tighten and extend restrictions until 9 April.

The third wave of the coronavirus epidemic across Europe is proving stronger than ever. Due to the drastically rising number of patients, the government has decided to tighten the restrictions, which came into effect on Monday. It must now be closed so that the country can reopen as soon as possible.

The additional protection measures that took effect are: 

Wearing a mask is mandatory on all streets and public areas within the residential area.

If possible, keep a protective distance of at least 1.5 meters from the other person.

Work is possible, but where possible, we recommend working from home. In the state administration, work from home can be ordered, except for those who contribute to the defense.

The evening curfew is still in force between 8pm and 5am. One case of exemption from the curfew is work, which, however, needs to be justified.
