Covid-19 compulsory seven-day isolation ending in Czechia

The Czech government has removed Covid-19 from a list of contagious diseases whose culpable spread is punishable, following a proposal by the Ministry of Health. The change is necessary to end the current mandatory seven-day isolation after a positive test for Covid.

The minister of health, Vlastimil Válek, said after a cabinet meeting that he expected the decree introducing the change to be published in the Collection of Laws in the week after Easter. It will come into force the following day.
