Movement within the district and the capital city of Prague:
– No document is required to travel to work within the district and Prague.
– No document is required for a trip to the purchase, to the doctor or to the office.
– It is possible to leave the residence for another purpose, such as a walk or jogging, during the day from 5 am to 9 pm, and only within the territory of the municipality, not the district. Dog walking at night is only possible within 500 meters from the residence. People who do not live in the same household should not come into contact when staying outside.
– The same rules apply to crossings between individual city districts as within one district.
– Visits by relatives (parents, grandparents) living in the same district are not possible unless it is necessary to provide for their necessary needs, to ensure their necessary care or to accompany them, for example, to a doctor or office.
Traveling outside the district and the capital city of Prague:
– When traveling outside the municipality of residence, an employer certificate is required, which can be issued for a certain period. In the employer’s confirmation, he shall state the place of employment and the place of residence of the employee. An alternative is an employment contract or an employment card and so on, if it is clear from them that you need to travel to another district.
– When traveling outside the municipality, for example to doctors or offices, a checked form or affidavit is sufficient, stating the place, time and destination of the trip. However, I still have to go about a path that really falls within the permitted exceptions. It is also good to have a confirmation that proves the necessity of the trip (eg a request from a doctor for an examination, an invitation to the office, etc.).
– Shopping outside the district of residence is not possible. You can only shop within the district. Only the necessary number of people can travel for shopping.
– It is possible to stay in one’s own cottage, chalet or other recreational property outside the district of permanent residence or residence, if the citizen will be there on the day of the new restriction. Then it will be considered his residence. It is therefore necessary on this holiday property for the duration of this measure. The Government recommends that such residence be evidenced by a title deed or other appropriate means.
– If people regularly stay in two or more places, they only have to choose where you want to stay for three weeks. This also applies, for example, to partners who live in two places and only occasionally together.
– Divorced parents who have children in alternating care and regularly transfer them are exempted from the movement ban to provide childcare. It is recommended to have a decision of the competent authority on alternating care with you.
– The visit of parents for the purpose of providing for living needs (purchases, doctor, etc.) can be proved by a solemn declaration.
– If someone wants to put their children in the care of grandparents who live in another district, this is possible, but it should be the stay of the children for the duration of this measure. Contact between children and grandparents (risk group) is recommended
– Stay in nature is possible only on the territory of the municipality. It is therefore not possible to make a trip within the whole district.
