As the second wave of Covid-19 ripped through Prague, a network of concerned citizens sprang into action to feed the cities’ homeless population who are battling freezing temperatures on empty, dark streets. The Non-Governmental-Organisation Místní místním (Locals for Locals in English) has coordinated a web of restaurants, social services and volunteers who make and deliver free baguettes to people living on the street. Over 1,000 baguettes have been distributed so far across the city. “That’s the official number, but I imagine it’s higher in reality because some cafes provide more baguettes than we can pay them for,” says Ester Pacltová, co-founder of Místní místním. Ester speaks highly of the group of ‘solidarity cafes’, saying that they have reacted quickly to a desperate situation. “The owners always ask how people in the streets like the baguettes, and if they should change anything,” she says proudly. Any hospitality business can join the solidarity network. Místní místním raise the money, which they then give to the cafes so they can buy the ingredients for the baguettes. Originally, volunteers would pick up the food and courier it to Místní místním’s partners, the Salvation Army and Naděje (Hope in English). “These social workers are in...
The restoration of Prague’s Old Town Market (Staroměstská tržnice) has been put on hold as councillors hope that labour costs will 'fall' due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Today, Aneta Langerová – Czech singer and musician, winner of the Czech Republic competition, SuperStar – performed the song A Prayer for Marta from the balcony of the National Theater. One of the iconic moments of Czechoslovakia’s Velvet Revolution came when long-censored popular singer Marta Kubišová emerged onto a balcony above Vaclavské náměstí square to sing a hymn-like ballad known as A Prayer For Marta (Modlitba pro Martu). Not only had the song itself been banned in the aftermath of the Warsaw Pact invasion of 1968, but Kubišová herself had also been silent for the best part of twenty years. On the 10th of December 1988, she was invited to take part in the first ‘authorized’ demonstration for the 40th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For the first time since 1970, Marta performed again. The music was composed by Jindřich Brabec, the text-based on motifs by Jan Amos Komenský was written by Petr Rada. Two days after the occupation, Marta Kubišová sang it in the Czechoslovak recording studio. The tape was immediately brought to Czechoslovak Radio, and for the first time, it reached its listeners at the most emotionally charged time. On October 28th, 1995 president Vaclav...
The Municipal Court annulled an extraordinary measure by which the Ministry of Health extended the obligation to wear face masks in the Czech Republic from October 21.
The celebrations of 17 November (“Struggle for Freedom and Democracy Day”) in the Czech Republic this year are mostly happening in the online environment, but some events will be happening in the streets despite limitations on freedom of movement because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Albertov neighborhood of Prague, there will not be a stage set up, as has become traditional, but it will still be possible to light candles there to commemorate the events of 1939 when students held a demonstration against Nazi occupation in 1939, and the events of 1989, when a student demonstration started the Velvet Revolution. Approximately 20 people are expected to march through the capital as part of a masked parade called the “Velvet Sanctification” (Sametové posvícení), and politicians are anticipated to lay floral offerings at the memorial plaque on Národní třída. An event called the “Concert for the Future” will take the form of a live broadcast of performers and speakers, without an audience. Those planning to perform, including the band The Plastic People of the Universe, musician Tomáš Klus, and Czech-Polish pop-rock singer Ewa Farna, will do so in an enclosed space on Wenceslas Square. Flowers are also customarily laid on Žitná...
The temporary field hospital at Prague Exhibition Center in Letňany was meant to care for any overflow of patients suffering from severe COVID-19 symptoms. One month later, not one single patient has been admitted, Česká televize reports. The lease of the space has so far cost 26 million CZK. The contract expires at the end of November, but the Ministry of Health still has to decide whether or not to extend it. The 500-bed hospital was constructed by the Czech Army in October, as a hurried response to the rapidly rising number of Covid-19 cases. Interior Minister Jan Hamacek organised the construction, while Prime Minister Andrej Babiš said it was necessary to build extra capacity amid predicitons that Prague’s healthcare system would be overwhelmed. The state also purchased 4,000 beds from hospital and nursing bed maker LINET. Bulovka Hospital, which is responsible for the field hospital’s operation, is waiting for the Ministry’s decision. “The hospital has not been activated yet and the epidemiological development does not even suggest that it should be any different,” hospital spokeswoman Mirka Kátriková said to Novinky.cz.

Every supermarket, food shop, and store must allow at least 15 square-meters per person so that customers can practice “social distancing”. This means that supermarkets must control how many people are in the space at any given time. The Czech government has approved a restriction on the number of customers inside stores, which will come into effect from Wednesday. Only one person per 15 square meters will be allowed. “Based on the current measure, people already have to keep a distance of two meters, so there will be no fatal changes. But it is true that it is different than as originally approved by the government resolution,” said Minister of Industry Karel Havlíček (ANO) to Radiožurnál. The president of the Trade and Tourism Association, Tomáš Prouza, criticized the new restriction. “The change will cause a concentration of people in front of the stores,” he claims.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was born on this day, i.e, November 16, in 1945. This year, UNESCO marks the 75th birthday and 48th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention and it will continue to “protect the world’s most outstanding places” around the globe. According to the official website, the UN body’s mission is to contribute to the building of a culture of peace, the eradication of poverty, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue through education, sciences, culture, communication and information.
