Spreading of Covid to cease to be criminal offense in Czechia

The Czech Ministry of Justice plans to remove Covid-19 from the list of diseases the spreading of which can be classified as a criminal offense.

The edict placing Covid-19 on the list of infectious diseases which present a serious public health threat has been in force since March 2020. It is due to be repealed by the end of June.

The Ministry of Health says it is waiting for the change so that it can abolish the current seven-day isolation requirement after a positive test for Covid.
