The Czech Republic will begin relaxing some coronavirus restrictions this week, including allowing some stores to reopen and exercising without a mask, the authorities announced earlier this week.

“People will be able to exercise alone without face masks as of Tuesday. On Thursday, certain shops that have been closed until now, will be allowed to reopen. Essential travel outside the Czech Republic will be allowed from Tuesday, 14 April,” a government press release says.

According to the Ministry of Health, as of 9 a.m. local time on Thursday, the number of confirmed cases in the Czech Republic has now reached 5,033 and 91 people have died. The number of people tested for coronavirus is 98,681. 

Bosnian Ambassador in Prague, Martina Mlinarevic, said last week that five Bosnian students in the city of Olomouc tested positive for the new coronavirus but all of them experienced only mild symptoms and were feeling well. They were accommodated in their dormitory's rooms prepared for isolation and are under the control of medical staff.

On Wednesday, other two Bosnian students tested negative, said the ambassador, who is maintaining the contact with all Bosnian nationals in that country.
