COVID-19 NOTICE

 

Participating in our events, like any close social contact with strangers, poses increased risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 virus (also called COVID-19 virus).

 

The virus is more likely to be transmitted when people are huddled together in enclosed spaces, whereas responsible outdoor activities are considered relatively safe.

 

=> All participants of our trips and events are required to wear a face mask when travelling with the group on a bus or train as well as at all other places where wearing a face mask is mandated by law.

 

Please do not attend (even if it means you cancel at the last minute) any event organized by Discovering Prague & CZ, if any of the following applies to you:

 

  • You are not willing to comply with the currently valid legally mandated hygiene measures.
  • You suffer from any symptoms which might be a sign of COVID-19. You will find the list of symptoms at the WHO website here
  • You have been ordered to quarantine.
  • You, or somebody living with you in the same household, are awaiting test results for COVID-19.

 

Thank you for being considerate.

 

“Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.”

=> We strongly discourage you from attending our events if you are at risk of experiencing severe symptoms of COVID-19 due to your age and/or underlying medical problems or you are in close contact with such a person. Check with your doctor before joining us if you are not sure.

 

If you want to participate despite of being more vulnerable to COVID-19 (or being close to somebody who is), you can minimize the risk of catching the virus by wearing a respirator with a high filtration index (a useful article about that is here) when you are in enclosed spaces with other group members.

 

If you have any questions about this COVID-19 notice, please contact us.

 

If you test COVID-19 positive within 2 weeks of attending any of our events, please inform us immediately!

This may happen due to (but not limited to) extreme weather when the safety of participants could be compromised (e.g. thunder storms, wind storms, ice etc.), sudden ill health of the organizer(s), or the number of participants doesn’t reach the required minimum for the trip to go ahead.

 

If you cancel your attendance

  • Thursday => You will get 50% of the amount you paid back

The notice must be in writing and must include a statement from a new customer that he/she agrees with the booked travel agreement.

In the event that a service that can not be transferred to the alternate (e.g. a ticket) has already been agreed with the customer, the original customer will reimburse the service in full.

 

4) The customer pays 100% of the agreed price if he/she does not attend the trip.

 

5) The TA has the right to deduct cancellation fees from the customer’s payment.
