Published statistics on portal The Ministry of Health states that the first person with covid-19 in the 0-14 age category should have died in the Czech Republic. The information shows that it was supposed to be a baby that came from the Ostrava region. However, ÚZIS subsequently stated for TN.cz that it was only an error in the data.
“We are currently working on the case. We do not yet know how the error occurred. In any case, I can confirm that no child died with covid-19 in the Czech Republic,” said ÚZIS spokeswoman Lenka Svobodová after TN.cz.
This week, another victim in the category of 15-25 years was added. The number of victims has currently started to rise significantly even among people under the age of 35. According to KHS, seven men and four women have already died with the disease in this category. In younger individuals, associated diseases usually play a role in death. The weakened organism cannot defend itself so well against coronavirus.
So far, most people have died in the 75-84 age category. More than 367,000 people have recovered from the disease.

In the Czech Republic, the number of newly infected people has been declining in recent days. The lowest increase in the number of people infected since the outbreak of the second wave was recorded by the Ministry of Health last Sunday. In the whole day, 1887 new cases were added. This is about half the number of cases than the previous Sunday. At the same time, however, the number of tests performed also decreased.
The infection is not avoided even by healthcare professionals. As of October 28, 15,751 of them had been infected. This is six times more than on October 3, when 2,480 medics were infected. On September 1, even “only” 244 medics were positive.
There is practically no decrease in the number of patients connected to respirators. Watch the Nova TV report:
