If the government eases the measures, all shops, restaurants and service outlets could open next week with restrictions. The night curfew would also end and the possible number of people at mass events would increase.
But politicians and experts have talked in recent days that the epidemic is not slowing as fast as expected. There are big differences between regions – only Prague and the Moravian-Silesian Region have long been in the third degree of PES risk, other regions are worse off.
On Saturday, the Minister of Health Jan Blatný (for YES) reiterated that the government will decide on the basis of the data that it will have on Sunday morning in seven days. Mitigation of the measure is always possible only after seven days, when the score is kept at a lower level. Sunday’s data then showed that the PES remains at 57 points for the seventh day in a row. Even if the government decided to release, the measures would continue to be widespread for the whole country.
On Saturday, there were 2,667 confirmed cases of covid in the Czech Republic, 524 less than a week earlier. It is also the lowest value for the first weekend of October 3.
