The government decided that restaurant interiors should open this upcoming Monday, on 31 May. This decision happened in reaction to the Supreme Administrative Court’s verdict regarding this issue. Aside from restaurant interiors, music clubs, casinos, swimming pools, saunas, and wellness centers will also open on the same day.
While the old-new Minister of Health, Adam Vojtěch, disagrees with the court’s decision, restaurant interiors will open on 31 May. He would have preferred to fully open restaurants in mid-June.

Surely people who have been vaccinated can eat in restaurants?
Hi Barry,
Yes, but you need to show your vaccination certificate and it needs to be a certificate from one of the approved countries. It needs to be at least 22 days since your jab, too.
Best,
Tereza
