Health Minister: indoor dining allowed as of May 31 under strict conditions

As of Monday, indoor catering can also reopen in the Czech Republic, the recently reappointed Health Minister Adam Vojtěch said following Friday’s government meeting. The cabinet also agreed that swimming pools, saunas and wellness facilities can resume operations.

When inside cafés, pubs and restaurants, the same anti-coronavirus hygiene measures should apply as in the outside area. This means having proof of a current negative test result, vaccination or recovery from the virus. In addition, at most four people can be seated per table.

Also as of Monday, music, game, dance or social clubs and discos will be able to open although live music remains prohibited indoors. Also, unlike for restaurants and other services, visitors must have antigen or PCR tests performed by a healthcare professional, not self-tests, Vojtěch said.
