A study shows that the current measures in Croatia are among the “most stringent” in the world when compared to the number of confirmed cases.
The police have reiterated that any person seen violating lockdown orders should be reported by witnesses.
Mobile phone surveillance would be carried out with the aim of controlling whether people are abiding by isolation requirements.
Civil society groups warn that such measures could lead to a breakdown of trust in government and that they are “dangerous and downright ineffective.”
