PRAGUE: The Czech Republic will require all foreigners visiting the country to have a negative PCR coronavirus test prior to entry starting from Dec. 27, unless they had a booster vaccine dose, Health Ministry said on Thursday.
The measure is aimed at limiting the spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant during New Year's celebrations, the ministry said.
The central European country has recorded just dozens of Omicron case while recovering from the latest wave of the Delta variant of the virus.
A maximum of 50 people will be allowed to gather for events after Dec. 29, except for seated audiences at theatres or other cultural venues. Restaurants will have to limit the number of guests seated at one table to four persons.
