On May 25, the government announced the resumption of the activities of hairdressers, solariums, as well as museums, galleries, zoos.
The final phase of mitigation is scheduled for June 8, when establishments in shopping centers with an area of more than 5,000 square meters, shopping centers, restaurants, cafes, wine bars, hotels, theaters, and tourist routes will open.

Public events will be limited to groups of up to 50 people. This scenario is based on the conditions that the epidemic will be under control, as it has been so far.

The Czech government has been relaxing quarantine restrictions since last week, with some stores open and allowed to travel abroad for “justified” reasons, but with a mandatory two-week quarantine after returning.
