“This situation will lead to a deep decline in economic activity, the de facto end of a number of companies and sole traders, and significant redundancies. Government measures will require additional costs from the state budget in the order of tens of billions of crowns, which we will all pay in taxes as a result, “Dlouhý warned.

Dlouhý called it a big mistake that an anti-epidemic system with an impact on the lives of the population for the next months was created behind closed doors without discussion with those concerned, and without proper argumentation.

What is the use of a stricter regime in grocery stores?
“Grocery stores have never been classified as a major site of infection. Perhaps also because we try to protect customers and staff in stores as much as possible, “wrote AČTO Březina, President of AČTO Březina, in a letter to the Minister of Health Jan Blatný (for YES).

“So I absolutely do not understand why you are trying to introduce much more restrictive measures for retail right now than have been the case so far,” he added. He also reminded that the biggest attack awaits the store in the run-up to Christmas.
–
The Chamber of Commerce proposed that the capacity be limited to one person per 10 square meters, while the ministry pushed one person to 15 meters.
–
“When asked what the epidemic impact is between 5 meters and whether the ministry could document it, the Chamber of Commerce received the answer that there are no data for it. The question is therefore whether this difference is really so important for reducing social contact without exact testing that the call of traders cannot be answered, “the Chamber of Commerce said in a press release.
–
Dlouhý also reminded that the implementation of the presented model would mean the need to significantly increase the support of employers and their employees.
–
“Entrepreneurs no longer want to be dependent on state support. They want the government to untie their hands so that they can function at least a little normally. It is better to allow entrepreneurs to resume their economic activity than to spend funds from the state budget to support entrepreneurs, “concluded Dlouhý.
