Czechs ignore health recommendations, go shopping in Poland

Czechs living near the border with Poland used the weekend to undertake shopping trips to the neighbour state after the authorities closed most shops in the Czech Republic, the news site Novinky.cz writes.

The news site says the main interest was in hobby markets where a fourth of all cars in the parking lot had Czech registration numbers and in clothes stores.

People making the trip also filled up their tanks since petrol is cheaper in the neighbour state.
