An online discussion seminar was held with the participation of representatives of the spa, mayors of spa communities, regional politicians and representatives of the project team of Mendel University. The topic was the protection of natural healing resources of the spa in Jeseníky (Czechia).

The main contribution, which developed an interesting discussion, was made by the head of the Czech Inspectorate of Spas and Springs, Mgr. Zdeněk Třískala.

Specific situation related to the covid-19 pandemic. Spa plays a big role here for patients who are being treated or treated with covid and have some consequences, including the whole society, which was affected by the pandemic.

Potential sources of threat to natural healing resources - problems of local heating plants, pressure from tourism actors.
