In the Czech Republic, on the night from Sunday to Monday at midnight, the national emergency came into force again. The government decided to do so as a result of the sharp increase in the number of corona infections.
The state of emergency allows the government, among other things, to restrict civil rights such as freedom of assembly and to take measures without the consent of parliament.
