(CRHoy.com) .- The Government of the Republic enabled “a transition period” between December 1 and January 7, 2022, in which the operation of the establishments will be allowed in 2 modalities, informed the Minister of Communication, Agustín Castro
In this way, commercial establishments may opt for a capacity of 100% requiring a vaccination certificate or choosing a capacity capacity of 50% without requiring a complete scheme.
The measure will be in force from December 1 to January 7 of the following year. As of January 8, 2022, commercial establishments will only admit people with a verifiable full vaccination schedule.
This is how the Government explains it:
Modality with 100% vaccination schedule:
Hotels, restaurants, bars, casinos, shops, museums, art and dance academies, gyms, spas and adventure tourism may operate at 100% capacity if all their clientele over 12 years of age have the complete vaccination scheme. The above must be verified through the QR code or the printed vaccination certificate.
Modality without a 50% vaccination schedule:
If unvaccinated or incomplete people are admitted, the capacity must be adjusted to 50%. The hotels will have to limit the use of common spaces to the same 50% (the occupancy of the rooms will not vary).
All the establishments must have a visible identification on the outside that shows the mode of operation of the commercial establishment.
“These provisions seek a balance between the need to protect health and life with sanitary measures and, on the other hand, stimulate greater economic activity and promote the employment that Costa Ricans need,” explained the Government.
As of January 8, 2022, all the aforementioned commercial establishments must only admit people with a verifiable full vaccination scheme, in order to continue with the economic reactivation and strengthening health security.
