Nude sunbathers have been warned by Czech police that as long as the coronavirus pandemic lasts they still have to wear face masks in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over\n 100 people, including a large number of nudists, descended on the Czech\n spa town of L\u00e1zn\u011b Bohdane\u010d to enjoy this weekend\u2019s good weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But with the Czech government insisting that face masks be worn at all times in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUnfortunately, the sunbathing citizens \nwere in one place in larger numbers and some did not even have a mask,\u201d \npolice spokeswoman Mark\u00e9ta Janovsk\u00e1 told local media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCitizens can be without clothes in places designated for this purpose, but they must have their mouths covered and must observe the numbers in which they can go into nature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officers checked on 150 people enjoying the town\u2019s lakes and found roughly half without the required protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nude\n sunbathing is allowed in the area, but emergency rules have banned \ngatherings of more than two people and require the wearing of face masks\n in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All those warned by police subsequently put on masks and no fines were issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe understand that many people do not have a garden and want to ventilate in the countryside,\u201d Janovsk\u00e1 added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut we all want one thing in common: fully respecting government regulations, so that the measures taken can be gradually released.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Czech Republic and Slovakia are among the first countries to mandate that face masks must be worn in public, following the example of South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the two governments have not provided masks to the public, leaving many to sew their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Czech Republic has had 4,828 confirmed cases of coronavirus with 127 recoveries and 80 deaths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
