People are irresponsible and don’t wear veils, the saleswomen say. They are also in danger of being penalized

Police officers and police officers have confirmed that more and more people are boycotting government regulations in the fight against coronavirus after the summer dismantling. “They are units of cases, but they do appear. I would recommend the saleswomen to solve everything in peace by agreement first. People often simply forget about the veil. Only if an agreement is not possible and a conflict is imminent, I would recommend contacting either the police or the state police. However, it is true that we also try to solve everything in the first place by agreement with the person concerned, not by sanctions, “said Bohumil Malášek, a spokesman for the South Moravian police.

Security intervenes in the chains

Rising cases of people who refuse to wear veils have also been reported in retail chains. “It simply came to our notice then. These customers will be notified by the security guards of our stores. If they do not heed this warning and refuse to put on the veil, they are not allowed into the store, and we then resolve the situation in cooperation with the police. However, most customers respect the regulation. Sometimes there is only inattention, when they do not realize that they are already in the space where they have to have their mouths and noses covered, “said Tesco Stores spokesman Václav Koukolíček.

Lidl spokeswoman Iveta Barabášová spoke similarly. “We draw attention to the obligation to wear veils right at the entrance to the stores. Its observers are checked on the spot by security guards as in the first wave of the pandemic. If a person refuses to put on a veil, we try to solve everything by agreement, while relying on the consideration of customers. Exacerbated cases are isolated. In case of exceptions from wearing veils, the customer must have a medical certificate, “added Barabášová.

But there are also more cases when people call police officers because of veils completely unnecessarily. Such as in Mikulov. “People often called us to say that they were sitting in a wine bar or restaurant, where there are Praguers and they don’t have our veils on. Or from another establishment, that there are again Ostrava residents without veils. It occurred to us that they were more out of malice, after all, these tourists are from areas where the greater spread of the virus has been or is being talked about among people, “remarked Jiří Hamerník, the commander of the Mikulov police officers.
