In light of stricter anti-COVID-19 measures across the country, Czech Railways will reduce select train operations outside of rush hour, according to a tweet sent out by the railways.
"Based on current government measures in connection with the epidemic situation, we will adjust the offer of long-distance trains outside rush hour and in marginal times," said ČD.
