Not so long ago, inthe government promised not to take new blanket measures. However, she broke that promise this week when limited the operating hours of pubs and restaurants. However, the SME Association points out that the measure was introduced without the government presenting any data showing that pubs and restaurants in particular (not clubs and nightclubs) pose an increased epidemiological risk.
As representatives of entrepreneurs, we understand the seriousness of the current epidemiological situation, but we must call on the Ministry of Health to immediately discuss the planned restrictive measures with representatives of companies and entrepreneurs,
he says Eva Svobodová, General Director of the Association of Small and Medium – Sized Enterprises and Self – Employed Persons of the Czech Republic.
AMSP CR warns that any further significant reduction in the operation of gastronomic facilities will have fatal effects on this hard-hit sector. It is necessary to discuss what level of measures is still tolerable for gastronomy. We offer our experts to the advisory bodies of the Ministry, which deal with anti-covid measures,
adds Luboš Kastner, guarantor of the project Moje restaurace AMSP ČR and co-owner of the Hospodska group.
The gastronomy sector has already lost sales of min. 30 billion crowns and by the end of the year this number is estimated to increase to 45-50 billion (without further restrictive measures). Most operators will end this year with a loss of hundreds of thousands to millions of crowns.
