– Former Minister of Health and epidemiologist Roman Prymula stated in the program Partie na Primě that the slowdown of the epidemic is not fast and that the Czechia could reach less than a thousand infected a day around 14 December. He therefore warned against pressure to rapidly dismantle the measures.
– So far, 1,042 infected people have increased in the Czech Republic so far, the numbers are current at 6 pm. However, less has been tested in recent days. On Saturday, 4,199 cases were confirmed out of a total of 16,106 tests performed. The proportion of infected thus again exceeded 25%.
– Mathematician René Levínský, who also collaborated on the new PES system, supports comprehensive testing of children who should return to school. His idea was also supported by Roman Prymula. Minister of Health Jan Blatný stated at OVM on ČT that he does not want to test young children returning to school. He described the testing of teachers, older children and university students as meaningful.
– The head of the UN World Food Program said in an interview with the AP that there is a need to warn before 2021. According to Norwegian research, “famine of biblical proportions” will add to the problems of covid, and next year will be worse than 2020.
– The total number of confirmed cases of coronavirus infection in Mexico has exceeded one million and the number of deaths is approaching one hundred thousand. The situation is also worse in the United States, most notably in Texas, where prisoners work in El Paso mobile mortuaries for lack of staff.
