prague under quarantine

3/20/2020

I know I sound like a broken record at this point, but things continue to change by the hour here in Prague.

In my last post, I reported that the whole Czech Republic went into full quarantine on Monday. That meant:

Only grocery stores, pharmacies, some post offices and bank branches, hospitals and doctors' offices were open.
People were required to work from home if possible.
You could leave your house only to go to/from work (if you’re not working from home); to buy groceries, medicines and other necessities; and to walk your dog.

I began yesterday's post by saying that things are moving quickly here as facts change on the ground. And that is still the case.

more restrictions from the czech authorities

Yesterday I posted that events with attendees of more than 100 people are canceled, but within a few hours, that was changed to events with more than 30 people. In addition, the government ordered all restaurants to limit patrons to 30 maximum, and restaurants must close at 8:00 p.m. from today.

Czech Republic coronavirus update

Here’s the latest update on the Coronavirus outbreak in the Czech Republic. Things are happening quickly, as they are in the U.S. and other countries around the globe.

Since my last update on March 9th, confirmed cases have gone from 29 to 32 the next day to 94 as of last night (March 11th). This is expected, given how contagious the virus is and, as I mentioned in my last post, the return of so many Czech citizens and residents from Italy, one of the most highly affected areas, over the weekend. As I also mentioned at that time, the government had begun to take measures designed to curb the spread in an attempt to prevent what has happened in Italy.

school closings and other new measures

Since then, more measures have been taken. On Tuesday, it was announced that all schools would close from the following day through the beginning of April, and events with more than 100 attendees were cancelled. Yesterday, the government announced that all museums and galleries would close, followed by an announcement that castles and other historic sites would also close.
