Border guards will check incoming foreigners on a random basis.
This emergency measure is one of those that the government can resort to in case of emergency, explained the Czech Foreign Ministry officials.
The ’emergency mode’ was introduced in the country from March 12 to May 17, then reactivated from October 5 to February 14. There is also a nation-wide curfew in the country.
