The Czech parliament's lower house approved on Friday extending a state of emergency to Nov. 20, as the country has been struggling with surge of coronavirus cases.
The state of emergency does not automatically bring any new measures, but creates the legal framework for the government to slap restrictions on people's movement or operation of businesses.
