Chekhia shuts down restaurants and shops because of koronobius

These measures come after Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babes earlier declared a state of emergency, closing educational institutions and said citizens and residents are forbidden to travel abroad during this period.

Czech officials have also banned foreign nationals from entering Czechia. Neighboring countries, Slovakia and Poland have also closed borders for foreign travellers.

“We are launching national entry bans for foreigners since midnight between March 15th and 16th, except for those who have residence or permission to stay in the state for 90 days”, Babes said.

The “is a tough measure, but we think it can contribute to halting the spread of the choreography”, Babis added.

At least 150 Corleone cases have been confirmed in the Czech Republic, and no deaths have been reported so far.
