Austria will classify Prague as a risk area

“We have information that Austria will decide that Prague will be included among the risk areas from Monday. This will mean that people who live or stay in Prague for a long time will be able to come to Austria only with a negative test for covid-19, “said Petříček.

On the contrary, according to him, Poland has not yet indicated that it would impose any restrictions on arrival on its territory.

From Wednesday, September 23, with a few exceptions, they are not allowed to pass the Czech citizens in Germany without a negative test. So far, only commuters and long-distance transport drivers have an exception. During Thursday, it should be clear whether students and pupils and preschoolers who go to school or kindergarten will also be able to go to Germany. With the exception of the Ústí nad Labem and Moravian-Silesian regions, Berlin considers the entire Czech Republic to be a risky area.

Czech diplomacy is also trying to resolve the issue of so-called small cross-border relations with Germany. “We asked the German side to allow exceptions, for example, for shopping on the other side of the border or for visiting restaurants. But it doesn’t look like an agreement yet, “Petříček told Radiožurnál.

On Wednesday, there were 2309 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the Czech Republic. There are now a record 28,048 infected in the country. Most of them have a mild course of the disease, but hospitalized and the number of victims is increasing. There are 628 patients with coronavirus in hospitals, 120 of whom are in serious condition. So far, 555 people have died from covid-19.
