I asked God and Jesus for forgiveness, but will I go to Hell for that?
 
No one here can answer that question for you. Talk to your priest.
 
Try calling your parish office to schedule a confession or see if confession is available. It should be noted that if it is not possible for you to attend confession due to circumstances outside of your control (such as a very strict quarantine), you are not necessarily damned to eternal torment. The short article I’ll link below briefly sums up the Act of Perfect Contrition, because God knows that sometimes you can’t go to sacramental confession right at this moment. That said, sacramental confession is required before receiving the Eucharist, so hit it up as soon as you can!

Edit: Apparently I can’t post links, but if you google “Act of Perfect Contrition” it’s one of the first results, via America Needs Fatima

But I asked God for forgiveness. Will God forgive sins if we confess to Him or we strictly need to go and see a priest?
 
Praying for forgiveness is great, and should always take place the moment we realize we’ve sinned. That said, we should also go to sacramental confession as soon as possible, as is prescribed by the church.
 
Thank you for a quick answer. In Croatia everything will be under ‘lockdown’ for at least a month or so.
 
No problem, man! I hope everything gets back to normal for y’all soon!
