According to the rules, on lifeguarded beaches a physical distance of 1.5 metres shall be maintained between individuals. Only 2 people or members of one family shall occupy an area of 20 square metres in unguarded beach zones. One beach umbrella shall be used by a maximum of 2 people or members of one family. In catering establishments tourists are advised to wear masks until they are seated at their table, as well as after getting up.
