Only 58 infected per hundred thousand inhabitants in the last seven days. Despite the mitigation of the measures, covid-19 is in decline in the Czech Republic. Government officials are already announcing further dismantling. According to Minister Petr Arenberger (for YES), the declining numbers will allow the Czechs to remove the veils in some places.

Even indoors, for example in schools or swimming pools. “The moving seven-day average of newly infected people per 100,000 people is declining, so it allows us to loosen up and also probably allows us to take off our veils during the holidays, at least in some situations,” Arenberger said.

Prime Minister Andrej Babiš wants to abolish compulsory airway obstruction in schools as soon as possible. He wants to discuss this at Friday’s cabinet meeting. “We have an extraordinary government, so I will raise the issue again,” she quoted him Czech television.

People must now wear veils or respirators in all indoor public spaces. And this also applies outside, if it is not possible to keep the necessary distances from other people. The obligation should therefore remain mainly in places where large numbers of people gather. For example in public transport or at mass events. “Especially in public transport, we will always demand protection of the nose and mouth. Then it will be medical and social facilities, “explained the chief hygienist Pavla Svrčinová.

The cabinet should then decide in mid-June on the end of airway obstruction, for example in shops or offices.

The cabinet and experts were already stormily deciding whether to leave the veils obligatory at the end of last year’s holidays. Despite the reservations of a large number of experts, Prime Minister Babiš intervened and the then Minister Adam Vojtěch canceled the wearing of veils in schools, shops and restaurants after his accusations.
