“The risk is quite high here. It has to be said that the PES, as it was prepared, is very interlinked and it is not possible to release only some measures there, but it is released in the whole stage at once, which leads to the fact that it may escalate into the future where it is under there is no control, “said Prymula.
The former Minister of Health is convinced that it is necessary to count on such a rapid disintegration as well as an increase in those infected. “We will have to be very careful if we do not want to go back. We need to implement a system of different antigen testing in parallel, “added Prymula.
After Christmas, the situation may get worse
Prymula would set up a different model of easing measures, especially before Christmas. According to the epidemiologist, people should minimize risky contacts, especially with strangers.
“I originally aimed the measures to keep relatively strict measures until the seventh, tenth of December, and then a relatively drastic release. This model releases it much earlier, of course with a certain risk that we can go upstairs after Christmas, “Prymula pointed out.
The government has decided that, if the restrictions are met, they will be able to open restaurants, all shops and service establishments on Thursday and end the night’s restrictions on free movement. According to the Minister of Health Jan Blatný (for YES), it is unlikely that the Czechia will reach a lower than third degree by the end of the year. Schools will not move to the third grade until 7 December.
