The COVID-19 situation in Czechland continues to get worse and now the South African variant has shown up here. From 26.2. until 11.4., all Czech citizens and residents are prohibited from travelling to Botswana, Brazil, Eswanti, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia or Zimbabwe.
From 1 March, all schools including kindergartens will be closed. So far only first and second grade classes have been open but now they will all close again. There's an exception for child groups at healthcare facilities for the children of first responders.
The government will also restrict the free movement of people for three weeks. People must remain in their district. If you do need to travel outside of your district for work, to go to a doctor or public authority or to an airport, then you need to have written confirmation from your employer or a sworn affidavit.
Brno-City and Brno-Outskirts are considered a single district for the restriction of movement. Some 26.000 police officers will be deployed to enforce the restriction. About 5.000 soldiers will be used to reinforce the police.
It's a good thing that I didn't choose to take my exams in March because with the new restrictions I won't be allowed to travel to Prague.
