COVID-19 infections on the rise<\/span><\/h1>\n

The current summer wave of the epidemic in the Czech Republic has been <\/span>growing for several weeks. <\/b>However, the pace of newly confirmed cases has <\/span>slowed down<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to some experts, the current wave of infection is at its peak, and the number of newly infected people should decline. However, epidemiologists expect another, much<\/span> more significant increase<\/b><\/a> in autumn.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Preventive measures in hospitals<\/span><\/h1>\n

Due to the epidemic, some hospitals are <\/span>reintroducing preventive measures<\/b>. St. Anne’s University Hospital Brno and the Znojmo hospital have <\/span>restricted their visiting days<\/b>. Facilities also urge visitors to <\/span>wear face masks<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n

Currently, <\/span>respirators are not mandatory<\/b>. However, they are recommended by the <\/span>Ministry of Health<\/b><\/a>, especially in <\/span>public transport <\/b><\/a>and hospitals.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Second booster shot<\/span><\/h1>\n

Since Monday, 18 July, you can get <\/span>vaccinated<\/b><\/a> with the fourth dose<\/b>. If you are over the age of 18 and are at least 4 months past your last dose, you are eligible.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can get vaccinated at GP practices, hospitals, or vaccination centers <\/span>without prior registration.<\/b> However, you should check the availability of the vaccine in advance, especially if you are going to see a GP. The <\/span>registration system<\/b> will be launched on <\/span>15 August<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Testing<\/span><\/h1>\n

T<\/span>he Ministry of Health is also <\/span>considering reintroducing preventive PCR tests<\/b> paid for by <\/span>insurance<\/b><\/a> companies. At the moment, all COVID-19 tests are covered only if you get a referral from your doctor. Otherwise, you must pay for it yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Entry into the Czech Republic<\/span><\/h1>\n

All measures relating to COVID-19 have been <\/span>lifted for all passengers. <\/b>However, that <\/span>may not always be the case<\/b> with other countries.
