Public transport will run in a limited scope, under the so-called holiday schedule. Certain recommendations need to be respected when using buses and trains. Use public transport only if you are healthy or have no signs of respiratory infection.
The driver, train staff and passengers must wear protective face masks.
Disinfect your hands upon entry and it is recommended that you do the same upon exit.
Observe the appropriate 1.5-metre social distancing rule before entering and during the transfer by bus or train.
