5 Councils of the Council of Experts on the Feast of All Saints and Remembrance

1. During the extended weekend, find time to stay in nature and stay only in the circle of the immediate family.

2. Travel to the Black and Burgundy Districts only when absolutely necessary.

3. If you have to travel, prefer individual transport and follow basic preventive measures – wear a veil or respirator, keep your distance from people outside your loved ones and observe hand hygiene.

4. Postpone meetings with extended family and friends until a more favorable epidemiological situation. Meetings with people at risk of severe Covid-19 disease are particularly risky, especially if they are not vaccinated. These are the elderly, people with chronic diseases and people with weakened immunity.

5. Avoid places with a high concentration of people – shopping malls, public transport, public events and meetings, including visits to graves on Saturdays and Sundays, where the risk of infection increases due to the expected onslaught.

If someone decides to travel to other districts, they should consider visiting the cemetery on days other than the next extended weekend. A council of experts advises people to have a veil outdoors if there are many people in the area. They also recommend traveling by individual transport. For example, they recommend people to avoid crowded shopping malls and rather use the time to move in nature.

The risk of infection in the Black District is high

Experts have decided to rely on people’s responsibility. They expect a certain increase in the positives, but they hope that it will not be large. They also point out that people wear drapes or respirators in black districts and outdoors. The incidence is that one in 200 people has a coronavirus, so the risk of meeting a positive person is high. And this is an incidence calculated only from testing data.

Measures in black districts

Strict black-awaited districts and restrictions will also affect vaccinated people. This is the last within the COVID machine. the strictest stage.

Regarding upper airway overlap, a respirator will be mandatory in the interior. You will also have to protect yourself outside, with a drape required in the exterior, with some exceptions. Mass events they will only be able to be fully vaccinated, even up to 100 people under strict anti-epidemiological measures, with the organizers having to keep a list of participants.

The Minister heard their recommendations and agreed with him as a doctor.” the spokeswoman clarified, adding that after the holidays, Lengvarský is open to discussing this issue.

SaS wants more freedom

On Wednesday, SaS representatives announced proposals for changes in the COVID vending machine. They demand more freedom for those vaccinated against COVID-19. He proposes to allow vaccinated people to establishments whose owner is equally vaccinated, even in black districts.
