According to the new Minister of Health Jan Blatný (for YES), the Czechia is probably at the beginning of reducing the spread of the coronavirus epidemic. According to Ladislav Dušek, director of the Institute of Health Information and Statistics (ÚZIS), the data show that the epidemic is not worsening. The reproductive number, which shows the rate of spread of the disease, has dropped to 1.13 and the percentage of positive out of the total number of daily tests is not growing further.
However, due to the growing number of hospitalized, according to Dušek, there is still a risk that the capacity of hospitals will be almost exhausted in the second half of November.

According to Dušek, the deadline for evaluating the effectiveness of the adopted restrictions is Wednesday next week.
A state of emergency is needed to maintain the measure, and the government extended it until 20 November today, with the approval of the Chamber of Deputies. Deputies did not fully comply with the government’s request, the cabinet wanted to extend the state of emergency by 30 days until December 3.
