    The Czech Republic have been a role model for the rest of Europe with regard to their response to Covid.
    Ignoring wishy washy advice from the WHO they were alone in introducing face coverings on public transport in the early stages of the pandemic.

    • Lausitzer says:

      They made face coverings mandatory even in all public areas, also outdoors. You had to put them on as soon as you stepped out of your front door.
      But then they ditched this and almost everything else as general rule on July 1st, declaring a “return to normality”. Thus they are definitely no role model for the rest of Europe, for the reasons reported here.
      By the way, today news in regard to face masks are to be expected from Austria, too. Exercise ends after 35 days because numbers are climbing again…

      ” they were alone in introducing face coverings on public transport in the early stages of the pandemic”…..

      Which have proveably no useful role whatsoever…..apart from “virtue signalling”.

      Face masks are totally useless at controlling virii, as was proved in 1918 during the “spanish flu” which killed 50x more than this chinese flu ever will.

      People who refused to wear face masks were given 10 days prison, today they introduce stiff fines & prison in case of non payment.

      However, history teaches us that history teaches us nothing.

      Cretins leading sheep as per usual.

    Masks do not need to be worn at all times, only in closed public spaces, including public transportation. I’m including a more detailed article from OperaPlus, where English-speaking readers can glean actual information (which they cannot glean from the Czech article.) https://en.operaplus.cz/artists-shaken-by-sudden-lockdown-in-the-moravian-silesian-region/
