56-year-old Billionaire and Czech politician, Pavel Sehnal has reportedly been vaccinated at Na Bulovce Hospital after posing as a paramedic, according to Jan Kvaček, director of The Na Bulovce Hospital.

The 56-year-old property tycoon owns a private dental clinic at Na Bulovce hospital, Prague 8-Liben.

“I am the owner of Bulovka Dental Clinic, and I have dentists there who I am in regular contact with. I was simply invited by my colleagues to participate in the vaccination,” explained Sehnal in an interview.

“He was vaccinated despite my ban”, replied Jan Kvaček, CEO of Na Bulovce Hospital. “Mr. Sehnal repeatedly asked if he could be vaccinated, and I repeatedly refused. I explicitly told him he couldn’t get vaccinated because he’s not a paramedic.”

According to him, Sehnal got the vaccine by getting confirmation from his clinic that he was a paramedic.

Sehnal responded and defended himself, “I am not a doctor, but since the 1st of March, vaccinations also include medical staff, including receptionists and the director, at least that is what I have been informed of by my medical staff.”

In contrast, according to the information provided on the website of the facility, the director of the Bulovka Dental Clinic is Ivan Oliva, and not Pavel Sehnal.

Sehnal is the owner of the Exhibition Grounds in Letňany, which the state leased for an emergency field hospital for up to 500 covid-19 patients from last October to early February 2021.

The military field hospital was never put into operation due to staff shortages.

Sehnal offered the premises of the unused Exhibition Grounds again last week (and this time for free), but the Ministry of Health rejected his offer.

Many small businesses, restaurants, various shops, and hotels are greatly suffering from the consequences of the lockdown, and the recent decision of the Czech government to further prolong it will evidently bring more complications and devastation to the economy.

Prague Morning has recently interviewed Penta Hotel’s general manager Johannes Schuschu, to discuss and spread awareness on the financial losses and problems that the hotel chain has had to overcome amidst the pandemic’s restrictions.

Operating in Prague 8’s Karlín, Penta Hotel, like many other hotels and tourist-based businesses, has suffered heavy losses in revenue since the first wave around March and April 2020. The hotel only managed to have a surge in business again during the summer in 2020, evidently because of the temporary halt of the implemented state of emergency.

Today, the hotel continues to be negatively impacted by the reinstated lockdown. Business operations have decreased to 20%. Moreover, since October 2020, Penta Hotel has had to rely on foreign guests traveling to Prague for work-related matters.

However, they have accommodated Czech travelers as well.

Monthly revenue has decreased so much that the revenue Penta Hotel used to generate in a day in 2019, now takes the duration of a whole month to produce in 2020. On top of that, travel restrictions have become more severe, with the government only allowing individuals to enter the Czech Republic if the purpose of their travels is deemed essential.

This puts heavy pressure on hotels such as the Penta Hotel, since many of them generate profit from traveling tourists.

Many businesses now, especially in service-oriented sectors like hotels and restaurants, have had to reduce the number of working employees. Penta Hotel, for example, has had to reduce 50% of their staff. Curiously enough, according to www.statista.com, Czech Republic’s unemployment rate has actually not gone up but decreased year-on-year from 2019 to 2020.

The website’s statistics show that the unemployment rate in 2019 was 1.93%, but was 1.91% percent in 2020. However, this does not change the fact that many hotels such as Penta Hotel, have had to only keep very essential positions and employees to keep the business running. Managerial positions have to multitask and do the work of several employees to compensate for this.

On the other hand, Penta Hotel does receive subsidies from the Czech government, but the money that they obtain is not sufficient enough to compensate for the continuing loss of finances.

The reality of it is; however, that many hotels have closed down because of bankruptcy. Penta Hotel has a much stronger base to keep them afloat, as they are part of a global hotel chain, but this is not the case for other hotels. Family-run hotels, for example, that sustain and generate profit solely from the hotel’s operations, are the worst hit in this pandemic.

Penta Hotel has had to adapt to keep afloat amidst the economic devastation caused by the lockdown, offering some of their rooms for students at a monthly rate of about 12 000 CZK.

Moreover, they are offering the possibility of renting out some of their rooms as offices, for workers who want to work away from home.

10,000 posters throughout the country will remind people to be compliant with the measures against the spread of Covid-19.

The Ministry of Interior wants to remind people to wear respirators outside and stay at home. Even more so now, since the detection of the new Covid-19 variants and the incessantly growing number of cases.

This campaign and initiative were inspired by a similar campaign in the UK.

The colored posters will either showcase slogans which say: “Stay home, save lives” or “Wear respirators, save lives”.

“It’s never too late to tell people again how easily they can become heroes and save lives. Just stay at home and wear a respirator consistently outside”, commented Interior Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Jan Hamáček.

The posters will be dispersed in cities and municipalities all around the Czech Republic. They’ll be printed and put up by Rengl this weekend, with the Ministry paying 1.5 million CZK for the campaign.

The very first case of the Covid-19 virus was detected on March 1 2020 in the Czech Republic. Fast forward to now, 1.2 million people have become ill with the virus, and reportedly 20,000 people have died from it.

Since the start of February 2021, infection rates have increased, and according to epidemiologists, the cause is mainly because of the new mutation of the virus, which reportedly spreads much faster.

They are also in agreement that non-compliance with the restriction rules is a factor for the continuous spread.

Vaccines have been delivered to doctors around Prague since Thursday by a collaborative effort of the Young Practitioners Association, online supermarket delivery company Rohlík.cz, and a dozen of other distribution companies.

Rohlík spokeswoman Zdeněka Svoboda Kuhnová confirmed the company’s collaboration with the association. Tomáš Čupr, CEO of Rohlík, stated that “in the first place, it didn’t seem apparent that help was needed to deliver the vaccines. Until, of course, the Young Practitioners Association took it upon themselves to ask for aid. Currently, there are 3600 vaccines for less than 200 general practitioners in Prague.”

“We got a response from a lot of companies. We took advantage of Rohlík’s offer because they probably had the most sophisticated distribution system. But it’s not just them, of course. There are several distributors. Everyone does it for free,” adds Mucha from the Young Practitioners Association.

Moreover, according to Mucha, nothing inaccessible and special is needed to transport the said vaccines. If the distributor is in possession of a refrigerator or a cooling system that maintains the correct temperature needed for the vaccines, then it’s practically enough.

“All drivers also have food licenses, and in fact, Rohlík drivers are normally used to driving some medications,” added the vice-chairman of the association. Rohlík does sell and deliver pharmaceutical products on their company’s website.

The transmission of the vaccine works by means of a transfer protocol.

Around 6,800 properties had been sold on the Bezrealitky in 2020, which has in turn successfully attracted new types of customers looking for a simple and facile platform to sell, buy, rent, and rent out properties.

Bezrealitky’s offer to let their clientele manage their own property operations, instead of relying on a real estate agent is also proving to be attractive to customers.

Because of the platform’s success, they’ve now added a new service to encompass more of potential customers’ needs. They will launch a new ‘Comfort’ service, which will enable the sale or purchase of a turnkey property. Turnkey properties are fully renovated homes or apartment buildings that an investor can immediately buy and rent out.

Bezrealitky will offer a team of specialists for various processes – from assistance with inspections, pre-selection of applicants, technical inspection of properties, photography and legal services.

Consequently, the property owner does not pay anything for the Comfort service. The price of the service, fixed in advance and individually determined, is therefore deducted from the final above-standard sales price.

Moreover, purchasing real-estate directly through Bezrealitky’s service is quite a profitable solution, since the services of sales specialists will be jointly provided by Bezrealitky and Maxima Reality during this year of 2021.

“We want to offer the new Comfort service as soon as possible throughout the country. In order to be able to handle all those interested, we need to provide dozens of proven specialists in individual regions immediately. It was definitely not in our own strength, so we searched and found a suitable partner. The unique model of approach to specialists that Maxima offers on the market is in line with our reality-free philosophy,” says Hendrik Meyer, CEO of Bezrealitky and managing director.

“However, we want to be sure that the new service will provide a really high-quality service, and that means having partial control over it. This will allow us not only to enter the property but also to have our own participation in the administration of Maxima from the position of executive“.

Maxima Reality has long been able to sell more profitably than the current market average – by about 10-15% than in the case of ordinary real-estate agencies. At the same time, its specialists can find people significantly faster – for example, they will find a buyer for a Prague apartment in an average of 40 days.

“We are not a classic real estate agent, we do things differently. We do not follow the path of brokers – that is, people who are looking for customers themselves and looking after their own earnings on individual projects. We work with a network of our own specialists who jointly participate in each order. Thanks to this, up to a dozen specialists can take part in the sale of one property for individual specific steps, who are not paid by commissions, but by a standard salary”, explains Zuzák from Maxima.

However, the sales specialist will only participate in the process at the explicit request of the seller and his order for the Comfort service.

Bezreality is the largest real-estate portal and online platform offering the possibility of direct sale or rental of real-estate.

The portal is visited by more than half a million people interested in housing every month, and every month around 800 people’s properties are sold through it and around 4,000 properties are rented.

Among other things, the portal also offers complete property management and rental as part of its service. The portal saved people around 2 billion CZK in 2020 on commissions of which they would otherwise have to pay to real-estate agencies.

Prague’s restaurant businesses have been innovating and coming up with new ways to keep attracting customers and catch up with their sales. Some sell two portions for the price of one, and some offer weekly home menus, for example.

As E15.cz reports, According to a study conducted by Dotykačka, sales for many restaurants fell by 63 billion CZK in 2020, a sharp decline from a sale of 195 billion CZK in 2019. Conditions have become significantly worse, as one in four businesses is on the verge of complete extinction. At the moment, many employees in gastronomy have had to be laid off.

On the other hand, cafés and bistros have remained intact during the continuing lockdown, since many of them were already created to adapt and use the concept of ‘take-away’ food even before the lockdown started. Sales for these types of places have apparently fallen by only 15%.

Yet there are still restaurateurs who, even after almost a year of pandemic, do not lose hope and have decided to offer their customers an alternative to visiting the hospitality industry. Take a look at our report on Prague companies that have thrown themselves into inventing news for customers.

Eat Perfect

Chef Filip Sajler introduced a new concept last year called EatPerfect.cz. The main idea is to deliver pre-prepared meals to customers. Lovers of good food can plan a menu for the whole week to have it delivered to their home or to their workplace.

“We put the greatest emphasis on the plan. It’s the same as when you plan to buy groceries to have cooking things at home,” says Sajler. “You have food at home for days and you don’t have to worry about anything, then you just plan and order again for the next few days, the selection changes weekly.”

Gourmet Pauza

Gourmet Pauza in Anděl has introduced several innovations. “We decided to set up an e-shop through which people can purchase some of our wines, desserts, and pastries, as well as any food from our menu,” says Pavlína Zemanová, co-owner of Gourmet Pauza.

Due to the continuing lockdown, the restaurant decided to offer a boxed healthy meal in several versions, but at the same time, it also offers customers classic Czech cuisine. Gourmet Pause is now on a quarter of the usual sales, thanks to their implemented ideas. They had to fire one cook and one waitress.

Bruxx

Bruxx is now dealing with the same situation as other businesses, so the operators decided to offer people two portions of mussels for the price of one. The restaurant has also started to offer mussel-like prawns.

Vinohradský Parlament

Vinohradský Parlament is located in the Bruxx neighborhood, and they even have a common background. Bruxx offers specialties mainly from Belgian cuisine, but the Vinohrady Parliament serves mostly Czech classics in both traditional and modern terms.

The restaurant now prepares packed dishes in boxes, so customers can heat them up at home and enjoy, for example, blueberry dumplings or pepper pods.

Jemný Bistro

This bistro is located outside the center of Prague, but this did not take away its popularity even during the lockdown.

“We have always emphasized tasty and quality dishes and wines in connection with entertainment and live music. Of course, the social part has disappeared, but we will never give up quality raw materials, despite financial difficulties,” says Kristýna Amaya, co-owner of Jemný Bistro.

They decided to operate in a completely different way than usual. It does not have a permanent menu, but every day it invents something different for its customers, so one chooses only in the picking window or over the phone.

At the same time, the bistro began to sell farm eggs and beers from small breweries.

Suggested resource: If you re-orientating yourself towards another industry for the sake of diversification, then US incorporation may be on the cards. In this case, it is a good idea to compare registered agents and consider using one that can help you expand abroad.

Rekola, a bike-sharing company that offers its service not only in Prague, but also in seven other Czech cities, has started an initiative of sharing snow gliders in Prague, Brno, and Olomouc.

Because of the heavy snowfall in recent days, parts of the Czech Republic are covered in snow. This explains the many cross-country skiers and tobogganers sighted out, especially in Prague.

Where can you find one of these gliders? Rekola has set them up on popular hills such as Letná, Petřín, Vítkov, Riegrovy sady and Stromovka. That’s just in Prague.

On the other hand, if you live in Brno, for example, you can find these gliders under Špilberk Castle, and there are some situated at the Planetarium on Kraví Hora, as well. Lastly, residents of Olomouc will find them in the Little Prince park.

The gliders can be rented on Rekola’s mobile application. All you need to do is pay 10 CZK to use them for 30 minutes. Each glider is marked with a number that you enter on the application.

When you’re finished using it, you lock the glider back to the designated place and take a picture of it.

“At the end of the ride, users have the opportunity to contribute directly in the app to a project in which the Salvation Army provides homeless people with the opportunity to spend the night in the heat”, says Jan Střecha from Rekola.

Rekola wants to support a project called Nocleženka, which provides accommodation for the homeless during the winter.

“I like how Rekola reacted to the situation and in one project combined entertainment and help for those in need. It is certainly not true that sledding is not allowed in the centre of Prague at all. We will look at the revision of the 20-year-old decree, which regulates it and has its limits. I believe that marking places in parks where you can sled without any problem will also help. In the future, an online map will be created”, says Zdeněk Hřib, Mayor of Prague.

2020 brought with it several major trends. Despite the continuing rise in real estate prices, the Czechs’ desire to invest in real estate did not decrease – especially in smaller apartments and older houses with good public transport connections.

Their number increased by 36% year-on-year, supported by greater availability of rental apartments and declining rental prices. In the largest Prague market, rents returned to the level of 2018 at the end of the year.

Key reasons for this development lies in the greater availability of rental apartments and decreasing rental prices. Rent prices equivalent to prices in 2018.

On another note, sale prices of old houses and flats increased despite the Covid-19 pandemic, with a year-on-year increase of 13%, the average price of a house went up to 37 635 CZK per square meter, while apartments increased to 67 517 CZK per square meter.

Real estate prices increased the most, year-on-year, in the Hradec Králové Region (houses by 31%, flats by 24%), in the Ústí Region (houses by 33%, flats by 18%) and the Plzeň Region (houses by 26%, flats by 16%).

Flats in the capital remain the most expensive, where the average price in 2020 was around 95,196 CZK per square meter, followed by Brno and flats in the South Moravian Region, with an average price of CZK 64,999 per square meter. Flats in the Central Bohemian Region have an average price of CZK 53,102 per square meter.

In both Brno and the Central Bohemian Region, apartment prices increased at an above-average 18% rate year-on-year. In the fourth quarter of 2020, for the first time, Prague’s second-hand apartments fluctuated above 100,000 CZK per square meter.

The price of Prague’s new buildings declared by the developers was just below 108,000 per square meter, and at the end of the year, an older apartment in Prague was only 6% cheaper than a new one.

In Prague and Brno, because of the inflating prices, the total area of real estate sold has fallen again, and people are trying to compensate for the increase in prices with smaller flats. On the contrary, in the Central Bohemian Region, people are more willing to pay extra, but this is also due to the fact that a large part of the demand is from neighboring Prague.

Because of the rising real estate prices, coupled with the instability and uncertainty the pandemic presents, a record number of Czechs have rented out their properties, using favorable prices.

Bezrealitky, which have about a fifth of the share of all rents in the Czech Republic, and a 40% share of all rents in Prague, 47,000 houses and flats were rented last year. The biggest number ever documented through the portal. The largest year-on-year increase in the number of leased properties was recorded in Prague, where even 50% more houses and flats were rented. People in other regions also rented out their properties more – 38% more flats and houses were rented in the Liberec region, for example.

The incline towards rents was supported by the stagnation of rental prices. “How long prices remain at current levels will only depend on the recovery of the tourist market. In Prague, we can expect a jump in prices and a decrease in the number of flats on offer when tourism resumes”, explains Hendrik Meyer. “In Brno, where supply is influenced more by local residents, rental prices will be affected mainly by the overpressure of demand.”

Advertised flats and houses for rent in most cases, found new owners and tenants within three weeks of the properties’ listings. Smaller flats and houses in suburban areas intended for sale, usually found their new owners within a month, while large flats and houses needed about a month and a half. Within three months, more than 95% of all residential properties on offer were sold.

“Undoubtedly, the ongoing digitization of the real estate market and the growing desire to offer their properties directly also play a role in the rapid pace of properties being bought or rented out.”

Bezrealitky is the largest service offering the possibility of direct sale or rental of real estate, and at the same time they are one of the most visited Czech real estate websites.

The portal is visited by more than half a million people interested in housing every month, and every month around 800 people sell their property successfully on the platform, and around 4,000 properties are rented.

The portal saved people around 2 billion CZK in 2020 on commissions, which they would otherwise have to pay to real estate agencies.

Way back in 1995, American expats Glenn Spicker and Scott Kelly introduced Prague to the addictive delicacy that is the authentic American bagel.

Now, some twenty-five years later, Glenn, Scott, and their new partner Isaac Starobin are re-launching the iconic Bohemia Bagel brand featuring a totally updated bagel based on traditional New York recipes passed down through the generations.

The menu is rounded out with flavored cream cheeses, breakfast specials, and deli sandwiches with meat sliced paper-thin.

For now, the company operates online-only, so locals and expats going through bagel withdrawal can get their fix by delivery via Wolt, Bolt, and DameJidlo or pickup at Cali Brothers Restaurant in Holesovice, and they even offer a 10% discount for pickup.

However, the trio of native New Yorkers aren’t stopping there. Rumor has it that they’re working on opening a few delis and schmear shops that would be right at home in the Big Apple.

Bohemia Bagel has a truly mind-boggling array of delivery options to get fresh bagels to their customers as quickly and painlessly as possible, which is great because who wants to wait 3 days when bagel fever strikes?

Besides their presence on all major delivery apps, they can send their full menu to literally all corners of Prague via a partnership with Liftago and Spotsu.

The boys bake four types of bagels every morning (plain, sesame, poppy, and everything) which are available all day, every day.

Just drop by and grab some. Want to try some of their more interesting flavors like sun-dried tomato, whole wheat or pumpernickel? Place your order on Bohemia Bagel’s e-shop and it’ll be ready for pick-up the next day.

The owners make all their goods with love. Try some today.

Even a mild case of COVID-19 can come with some pretty miserable symptoms, including debilitating headaches, extreme fatigue and body aches that make it feel impossible to get comfortable.

Numerous Czech workers and citizens have testified about having post-Covid-19 symptoms that have been moderately or severely handicapping their ability to work.

This is due to the fact that patients are not completely healthy and recovered even after months of the initial contraction of the virus.

Post-Covid-19 symptoms include chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, cough, and persistent loss of smell and taste.

Petr Jakubec, a pneumologist from the University Hospital Olomouc, has stated that post-Covid-19 symptoms can last for weeks or sometimes even months. “In other diseases, we are used to patients feeling improvement every day, but unfortunately for Covid-19, recovery is only after weeks, sometimes even months”.

Early in 2021, a study in the Lancet showed that 6 months after illness onset, 76% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Wuhan, China, reported at least one symptom that persisted, mostly fatigue or muscle weakness.

Evidently, it is essential and recommended to visit a pulmonary doctor, if problems persist. Olomouc Hospital advises patients to rehabilitate slowly, emphasizing the importance of regular, but not brash, movement.

On top of that, other symptoms have been detected, as some patients report that their hair is falling out. Petr Arenberger, of Royal Vinohrady University Hospital, offers two explanations for this phenomenon: firstly, he states that hair falls out because of the stress the body goes through when having to deal with a severe infection.

His second explanation for hair loss pertains to the inflammation of thinner blood vessels, such as capillaries, which can then affect hair cuticles.

The stated symptoms, including less common ones, are being collected as data.

However, patients and people who have already contracted it are advised to maintain their health by drinking clean water, engaging in light exercise such as walking, and getting adequate amounts of rest.

For senior citizens who have had Covid-19, physiotherapy and spa stays are recommended to speed up recovery.

Czech Television (ČT) presenter Václav Moravec claims that the current Minister of Health, Jan Blatný, will quit and leave his position in 14 days.

Moreover, ČT also claims that the current Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Andrej Babiš, will take over the Health Ministry department and that Blatný will be replaced by the former head of Ministry, Roman Prymula.

Prymula was the Minister of Health for the duration of a month last year in 2020, however, he has since then resigned after being spotted leaving a restaurant during Covid-19 lockdown.

Additionally, ČT claims that Prymula has been attending government meetings in the past weeks.

Prime Minister Babiš has publicly denied the information given by ČT, stating that he has no intention of leaving or replacing the current Minister of Health.

“It’s all just speculation and gossip on the Václav Moravec show. I suppose he was trying to raise the profile of his show, which is not much talked about anymore”, commented PM Babiš.

President of the Chamber of Deputies, Vondráček, has also publicly stated that the show’s claims are all just gossip and rumors and that there has not been any information between government officials claiming that this would actually happen.

According to ČT, one of the reasons why they think that Blatný might leave his position is because a number of leading experts have left the ministry.

This past Tuesday, the deputy health minister, Aleksi Šedo, has supposedly quit. On the other hand, political deputy Alena Šteflová, had to quit as well very recently.

This past Monday, the vaccination coordinator at the Ministry, Zdeněk Blahuta, has apparently resigned. On top of that, Pavel Březovský, director of the State Institute of Health, has supposedly resigned as well around mid-January.
