No facemasks in Prague schools but night clubs warning

The authorities in Prague say they will not make facemasks compulsory in the city’s schools, which are due to reopen on Tuesday. However, passengers will be required to cover their mouths and noses not only in the Metro itself but also in the vestibules of the system’s stations, officials said.

Prague was on Friday placed in the amber category on a national “traffic light” map, signifying that community transmission of Covid-19 is starting to occur in the city.

Chief hygiene officer Zdeňka Jágrová said if two more instances of many infections being traced to one night club occurred such establishments would be closed down.
