Trade Minister Karel Gawliczek added confusion on the Czech Republic banned “carried coffee”
Trade Minister Karel Gawliczek added confusion over the new rules. He said that you can sell “carried” coffee or tea if the customer takes the drink in a bag to the office or home.
In the revised coronavirus rules on the sale of drinks in restaurants and their supply, the Czech government banned “coffee with you.”
All drinks must be consumed directly by the customer at the establishment where he bought them. The government decree states that beverages served or produced on the spot are prohibited from being consumed “off-premises”.
Health Minister Jan Blatny said the purpose of the regulation was to prevent people from walking the streets or Christmas markets with drinks or food.
This is not a mistake. The goal is not to walk the Christmas markets and streets with cups and food,” he told reporters.
According to the Minister, this measure does not apply to sales through the car window.

On Thursday, the Czech government mistakenly banned catering establishments from selling all bottled and on-site beverages for immediate consumption. According to the Interior Ministry, this was a “typographical error” that has already been corrected.
