Car industry employee sends government imposed order for mandatory testing to court

The government imposed measure on the mandatory testing of employees in companies with over 50 employees will be reviewed by the Supreme Administrative Court, the ctk news agency reported.

An employee from the car-making industry has challenged the new regulation on the grounds that it violates his personal freedoms.

The order was issued by the government on the basis of the recently approved law on pandemics.

Over 10 thousand companies have been ordered to test their employees for Covid at least once a week to help curb the spread of the epidemic.

The order was also issued to state employees in the administrative sector.

Those who refuse to get tested will be barred entry to the workplace and risk being fired.
