Health minister wants inside and outside meetings to be limited to two individuals

Health Minister Petr Arenberger told Czech Television on Saturday that he will propose bringing back limitations on the number of people that can gather together in outside and inside spaces at the meeting of the government on Monday. According to the original plans made by his predecessor Jan Blatny, public gatherings could include up to 20 people outside and 10 people inside. However, Mr. Arenberger has since said that it would be better from a medical standpoint to keep the rule that only a maximum of two people can meet together inside or outside.

The statement comes ahead of the planned easing of coronavirus restrictionsnext week.
