Babis: Possible industry lockdown depends on unions, employers

A possible closure of industrial plants for a few days adjoining the Easter holidays must be debated with the Tripartite, a body comprising representatives of the cabinet, unions and employers, which should have the final say, Prime Minister Andrej Babis said on Monday. The industry lockdown around Easter may be recommended to the cabinet by its Council for Health Risks. One of its members, epidemiologist Petr Smejkal, said on Sunday that the step would significantly reduce the number of new Covid-19 infections.
