According to Deputy Minister of Health Roman Prymula, the restrictions on travel abroad will probably be eased in the next weeks. “Slovakia and Croatia are considered as possibilities, but we need an agreement with the respective countries which would have to open their borders to Czech holidaymakers”. “The Czech government is under pressure to open at least a few holiday “channels” out of the country,” he added. In mid-June, the situation will be more clear. Prime Minister Andrej Babis (ANO) added that the government will continue to explore the possibility of free travel. Croatia was the most popular foreign destination for Czechs in 2018. According to data from the Czech Statistical Office, 813,000 Czech tourists spent their holidays there. More than five million Czechs went on holiday abroad last year. On March 14, the government put a ban on entering the territory of the Czech Republic for all arriving foreigners except for foreigners with permanent or temporary (over 90 day-long) residency in the Czech Republic. All people entering the territory of the Czech Republic are subject to a fourteen-day mandatory quarantine unless stated otherwise, subject to exceptions. With effect from April 14th, foreigners residing in the Czech Republic, like Czech...

“The borders will certainly not open until June and non-essential travel may not be possible even in summer,” said Minister of Health Adam Vojtěch after the government meeting on Tuesday and reported by iDNES. “It will depend on the situation in other countries. We do not want to give predictions without an expert opinion. We are talking about the last relaxation and certainly, it won’t happen earlier than in June. Moreover, under some conditions,” he added. “At the moment, the epidemiological situation in Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States are not good.” On 16 March, the free movement was limited with the exception of travel to and from work and necessary travels to ensure basic human needs.

To help children understand the coronavirus pandemic, the company that manufactures “Igrace,” the Czech version of the well-known German Playmobil brand, has launched a limited edition of figurines wearing masks. These figurines aim to teach children to wear protective face masks and the importance of social distancing. It is donating part of its sales from the toys marked “Help With Igráček” to purchase protective equipment for doctors and nurses in the central Vysočina region where the company is based. “We thought if everyone else has to wear a mask, then so should Igráček,” said Efko CEO Miroslav Kotik, adding that 15 Czech crowns of the retail price of the figurines would be donated to the effort. The company announced on Facebook on April 9 that sales of the special-edition figurines had generated more than 215,000 CZK in funding for protective equipment.

Czech schools that have been closed since March 11 over the coronavirus epidemic should have reopened in late May. However, as Roman Prymula said in an interview for the news site Seznam.cz, “it is unlikely that schools will re-open within this school year, at least not all of them.” According to the country’s Chief Hygienist Jarmila Rážová, high-school and university students would return sooner, but younger children would most likely be kept out of the classroom until the new school year. They said schools are in “exactly the same position as everyone else in the country” in terms of waiting for the science to guide when to lift restrictions on social interaction, workplaces and all other parts of society that have been forced to shut down. “We will re-open all the schools when scientific advice indicates it is safe to do so.” Norway, Denmark: Cautious optimism Norway is taking a different approach again, prioritizing the reopening of schools as it eases containment measures introduced in mid-March. It will begin to scale back its lockdown measures from April 20, Prime Minister Erna Solberg said, when kindergartens will start to reopen. A week later, schools will reopen for pupils in grades one to four....
