Czech Republic reintroduces obligation to wear a mask

From 1 September, residents and visitors to the country will be required to wear a mask on public transport and in public buildings, with the exception of the catering industry. The Central European country has previously had a mask rule, but it was relaxed after a decrease in the number of infections. According to the Minister of Health, the reintroduction is necessary as a prevention measure for a potentially 'difficult autumn'.
