This decision is argued by the Ministry of Health because the current fabric masks are unsafe. Surgical masks are accepted, but only in a “double layer” – one on top of the other.

The list of places that the ministry will indicate in a new regulation on Monday includes: public transport, shops and hospitals.

“These are places with a high concentration of people, where various fabric masks made at home cannot be considered sufficient protection,” said Czech Health Minister Jan Blatny.
