The current epidemic prevention measures in the Czech Republic will be implemented from December 27, 2020 and will be valid until January 10.

The main measures include: banning gatherings of more than two people in public places; imposing a curfew from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next day; closing most shops and service facilities; and implementing distance learning in schools.

Bratney said that in the next few weeks, he would analyze and study the epidemic situation, including Czech neighbors, and on this basis, he decided to strengthen or relax epidemic prevention measures.

Since the Czech state of emergency expires on January 22, Bratney said that it could not be ruled out that the government would apply for an extension of the state of emergency.
