The Czech Republic requires a CoV test upon entry

A big blow for the Czech tourism industry.

In the Czech Republic, stricter entry rules for holidaymakers from Austria apply from today. Everyone has to provide a valid test certificate, unless a complete vaccination from at least 14 days ago can be shown. The country's tourism industry now fears another slump in visitor numbers. “Any such barrier is an obstacle for vacationers,” said the President of the Czech Hotel and Restaurant Association, Vaclav Starek, on Thursday.

If you come from a so-called green country such as Austria, Germany or Switzerland, you must have a negative rapid test result with you that is not older than 48 hours or a PCR test result that is not older than 72 hours. In addition, an online registration form must be completed before entering the country. The tightening is justified with the advancing spread of the Delta virus variant. This is reported by vienna.at.
