Czechs start to ease lockdown, youngest kids back to schools By KAREL JANICEKApril 12, 2021 GMT PRAGUE (AP) As the coronavirus pandemic eases up in the Czech Republic, one of the European Union’s hardest-hit countries took its first steps on Monday toward easing of its tight lockdown. Health experts, however, warned that the relaxation was going too far as infection and death rates still remain at dangerously high levels. As of Monday, Czechs are allowed again to travel to other counties and a night-time curfew has ended. The tight restrictions had taken effect at the beginning of March as the Central European nation was desperate to slow down the spread of a highly contagious virus variant first found in Britain.
