Covid-19: further easing of measures comes in force

Further easing of anti-coronavirus measures came into force in the Czech Republic on Monday. For the first time in over five months, indoor catering is permitted. Swimming pools, saunas and wellness facilities, as well as bars, discos and casinos and museums, can once again receive guests.

Some restrictions apply. Indoor catering is limited to four people per table, live music and dancing is not permitted in discos, and visitors to most venues must have a valid negative Covid-19 test, or proof of having been vaccinated or recovered from the virus.

Minister of Health Adam Vojtěch said self-tests are valid only in restaurants, stressing that he would not have eased restrictions if not for a Supreme Administrative Court ruling that blanket restrictions on restaurants were illegal.
