PRAGUE (Reuters) - The Czech government said on Monday it would order most shops and restaurants to stay closed and restrict people's movement until April 11, extending by 10 days measures it has put in place to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

The measures, in place since March 14 and previously set to end on April 1, still allow grocery stores, pharmacies, drugstores, gas stations and some other places to operate, while travelling to work or to visit family is also permitted.
