Only Czechs and Belgians Banned From Travel Abroad in Europe Over Coronavirus

The Czech government banned Czech citizens from traveling abroad when declaring a state of emergency on March 16, but in an attempt to stimulate domestic demand, the government is looking to financially support Czechs who want to travel within their own country. Travel restrictions were partially eased a month later on April 14 after the government drafted a list of exceptions for those who wish to travel abroad. Since then, people traveling due to family or business reasons are allowed to leave the Czech Republic. If they stay abroad for more than 24 hours, they must undergo a two-week quarantine after returning to Czechia. Such a blanket measure banning Czechs from traveling abroad is unique compared to other countries worldwide. While most states limit the entry of foreigners into their territories, most have not explicitly restricted citizens from traveling abroad. In addition to the Czech Republic, Belgium is an exception in Europe, forbidding its citizens to travel outside the country in all “non-essential” cases, writes the New York Times. Czech law experts see no support for the travel ban Experts point out that Czech law allows the borders to be closed to those who wish to enter the country, it does...

Prymula: “We Will Probably Ease Some Travel Curbs”

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.
