Nudists told to wear face masks by Czech Republic police

Nudists told to wear face masks by Czech Republic police

Face masks are not mandatory everywhere, but strict rules on wearing them have been enforced in the Czech Republic - even for nudists.

The European country has begun to relax restrictions imposed because of the coronavirus, but at the height of concerns late last month, police were called in to remind people that while it was OK to get naked in designated public places, mouths needed to be covered.

Czech law enforcers issued a warning after officers were called out on March 27th in the small town of Lázně Bohdaneč, east of Prague, because of complaints about maskless naturists basking in warm weather.

A Police statement said unfortunately, many of the sunbathing citizens were gathered in large groups, and some were not wearing face masks adding upon the arrival of the police, everyone agreed to respect the government regulation [that face shields are compulsory outside the home].
