Face mask requirement now applies in certain places in CR

From Tuesday face masks are again compulsory in some places in the Czech Republic. In a move designed to coincide with the new school year, it is now obligatory to cover one’s mouth and nose on public transport, on private coaches and in taxis as well as at civil service buildings and at medical and social facilities.

Face masks must also be worn at all indoor events attended by over 100 people and will be required at polling stations during elections next month.

In another change, the quarantine and isolation period for those who have caught Covid-19 or been in contact with somebody who has the virus has been reduced from 14 to 10 days.
