This will mean the phasing out of the covid passport and removing the opening hours restrictions on restaurants, bars and clubs. Only the mask mandate will remain in place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The Estonian government has said that when the ten-day average number of covid-19 patients requiring hospitalisation is less than 25, restrictions can be lifted. In the last ten days, an average of 31 covid-19 patients have been hospitalised.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Although the number of covid infections increased hugely over the past few months as a result of the omicron strain, the workload of hospitals has not increased significantly. There are currently 19 patients in intensive care.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">In Estonia, the lives of those who have received a full series of vaccines are almost normal because the coronavirus passport allows entry to any place. Vaccination certificates from other countries also act as a covid passport in Estonia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">More detailed information on the corona situation in Estonia is available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terviseamet.ee\/en\/coronavirus-dataset\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #0000ff;\">coronavirus website<\/span><\/a>.
