In a meeting on Monday 17 May, the Czech government approved a draft of the country’s National Recovery Plan and agreed to lift certain anti-epidemic measures from next week. More specifically, it announced that COVID restrictions concerning students and hotels will be further dismantled from Monday 24 May.
According to a press release by the government, university and secondary school students will be able to resume attending classes in person full-time. Taking this further, the rotation model of learning will no longer need to be used.
Hotels and other accommodation establishments will also be able to resume operating at full capacity. However, they will have to comply with strict hygiene measures to ensure the safety of staff and guests. What is more, guests will have to provide proof of vaccination, immunity, or a negative COVID test before their stay.
