The Czech government has introduced an overnight curfew for all citizens, Health Care Minister Roman Prymula stated at a press conference on October 26. Between 9pm and 5am people will be able to leave their homes only for work, as part of the anti-coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions. The new measures will take effect from October 28.
The government also limited working hours of retailers. They must be closed between 8pm and 5pm from Monday to Saturday and fully closed on Sundays. The exceptions are pharmacies, filling stations, airport and railway station shops.
