Closed pubs do not work, crowds of people drank in the streets at night!

Only four people at the table, a meter and a half from other guests and the closing at 20 o’clock. This is a summary of the government’s measures by which the Minister of Health Roman Prymula (for YES) wanted to reduce contacts between people. On Friday, however, many of those who went to a pub, bar or other business arranged their own way.

Either after eight o’clock they continued to drink on the street right in front of the closed establishment, or they moved to parks or the square. Head to head, for example, there were bars in Brno’s Kozí Street or on the adjacent Jakubské Square.

Crowds gathered in the evening to night in the courtyard of the Prague National Theater. It was also busy in the streets of Malá Strana or in Letenské sady. However, it remains unclear whether, due to Friday night’s fever, police officers dealt with more offenses for violating the measures. He must not talk about it. “This is a topic that only the director reserved to comment on,” said Irena Seifertová, a spokeswoman for the Prague City Police, to TN.cz.

However, the people were not violated by their presence on the streets after the closure of the companies, the government did not restrict movement outside. Police officers had a big check-up in Ostrava, where the famous Stodolní Street also lived for the eighth time. “We did not find any fundamental violations of government regulations. We only solved small things,” said their spokesman Jindřich Machů, adding that the situation did not worsen even after 10 pm, when the night quiet begins.

The epidemic is getting worse every day in the Czech Republic. There were 8618 more infected on Friday, about three thousand more than the previous record. Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (YES) even threatened to shut down the Czech Republic as in the spring, everything would close except work.

“Either everyone will comply with the measures, or we will have to take further restrictive measures. We cannot rule out a lockdown,” the prime minister told a news conference on Friday.

The Minister of the Interior and Chief of the Crisis Staff Jan Hamáček (CSSD) is convinced that the police are doing what they can in connection with monitoring compliance with the regulation. “Thousands of inspections take place every day, so far they solve it by agreement. If the problem is more fundamental, it can impose a fine. I believe that people will understand that the situation is really serious,” he told Nova television.

We wanted to ask Minister of Health Prymula whether the situation where pubs close in the evening and people stay together until night anyway is not paradoxical. However, he did not answer the phone and has not yet responded to the SMS message.
