The government will ask for an extension of the state of emergency

“I am convinced that it will be necessary to ask the Chamber of Deputies to extend the state of emergency. The epidemic is slowing down slowly. If we want to stick to some measures, it will require an extension of the situation, “said Hamáček on Tuesday before the lower house meeting.

Schillerová, the head of the state coffers, also agrees with him. “We certainly will (on extension of the state of emergency – editor’s note) ask. We will discuss it on Friday or Monday at a government meeting, “the minister added, adding that there was a consensus.

The government leaders will thus act primarily on the period for which they will want to extend the state of emergency. Their proposal will then have to be supported by the House. “She will most likely decide on it next Thursday,” outlined the head of the ANO parliamentary club, Jaroslav Faltýnek.

Hamáček then also asked the Minister of Health Jan Blatný (for YES) to add to the table of anti-epidemic measures whether and which measures require a declaration of a state of emergency.

Blatný informed about the creation of the table last week, when he also presented its working form.

The state of emergency is now valid until November 20, as well as most of the measures taken that limit life in the Czech Republic.
