Despite the sharp increase, according to the Ministry of Health, the overall epidemiological situation in the Czech Republic is very good and the disease is not spreading uncontrollably. From 1 July, mouth and nose protection will be mandatory throughout the country only in medical and social facilities. The restriction that restaurants could only be open until 23:00 should also be lifted.

“We are directing all the forces of hygienists to the Moravian-Silesian region, especially to the Karviná region. The latest jump in positive cases is again related to this local outbreak. According to him, people who obviously have symptoms attend mass events or celebrations.

The state in the Karviná and Frýdek-Místek regions will again ban visits to hospitals and social facilities from Tuesday and will limit participation in mass events from 500 to a maximum of 100 people. A maximum of a hundred people will also be able to be at natural and artificial swimming pools at the same time.

There were 305 new cases of coronavirus in the Czech Republic on Sunday. For the fourth time since the beginning of the epidemic, the daily increase was higher than 300, the last time it happened on April 3. The proportion of detected cases in the total number of tests was 16.83 percent, which is the highest since the beginning of the epidemic. The reason for the significant increase in recent days is primarily targeted testing in current outbreaks, especially in the Karviná region and in the mining company OKD. There were also fewer tests than on weekdays, and 1812 laboratories performed them. To date, 11,604 people have been infected with coronavirus in the Czech Republic, 7710 have been cured, and 348 victims are currently infected. 3546 are currently infected.

The most affected region in the Czech Republic since the beginning of the epidemic is now the Moravian-Silesian Region, which has overtaken Prague in recent days. So far, the local laboratories have detected 2,650 infections, and there have been 2505 in the capital so far. There are almost 221 infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the Moravian-Silesian Region, and 189 in Prague. In the last seven days, there are only about six new cases of the disease for every 100,000 inhabitants of the metropolis, while there are 183 cases in the Karviná region.

From 1 July, the Ministry of Health will publish a daily map of risk regions in the Czech Republic, which will assess the increase in positives with covid-19, hospitalizations and other trends for the last day and week. The daily increments of positively tested will be published by the ministry only once a day.

When traveling abroad, Czechs have to reckon with the fact that in the category of the most risky countries, only Sweden will remain from the EU countries, but from Wednesday the obligation for its citizens to prove the reason for traveling to the Czech Republic will disappear. From Tuesday, Portugal will move to the category of countries with a medium risk of coronavirus infection, so Czechs will no longer be required to submit a covid-19 test when returning from the country.

For its purposes, the Czechia will narrow down the list of safe countries for travel, which should be agreed by the European Union today. It will select about a dozen non-EU countries, taking into account whether these countries are open to Czech citizens. About 15 states should appear on the EU list. Czech diplomacy considers free travel to the countries of the Western Balkans to be a priority.
