With effect from 3 August 2020, the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic updated the rules for entry  into the territory of the Czech Republic. This "Health Protective Measure" can be downloaded under this article.

Based on evaluation of epidemiologic situation, the EU+ countries are also divided into three groups according to a level of risk of COVID-19 - low (green), medium (orange) and high (red) risk. The list of countries with a low risk of COVID-19 contagion can be downloaded under this article.

EU+ citizens and citizens of other countries with the granted status of long-term resident in the EU may enter the Czech Republic without the necessity of having a negative PCR test and without the necessity to prove the purpose of travel in case they travel from the country with low risk (green). If they travel from the countries with medium and high risk, they can enter the Czech Republic only if they belong to one of the exceptions from the entry ban of foreign nationals and fulfil the conditions for entry defined by the Ministry of Health Protective measure (e.g. submission of a medical certificate). This also applies to the Czech citizens who live in other EU+ country and travel to the Czech Republic.
