Tightened coronavirus measures in effect

Tightened coronavirus measures are in effect as of midnight Friday, aimed at lowering the mobility of the public in view of the presence of the more contagious British variant of Covid-19 on Czech territory.

People have been asked to keep contacts with others down to an absolute minimum and remain in their own homes as much as possible, with the exception of going to work and doing essential shopping.

People are only allowed to stay at their own recreational properties and exclusively with members of their own families.

In an effort to reduce the number of people at winter mountain resorts, the government has issued a regulation according to which accommodation facilities may only accommodate people on work trips. They will have to produce a letter from their employer confirming the fact and are not allowed to bring family members with them.

Chair lifts may only be used by emergency crews.

Most hospital visits are also banned.
