We can harden, the minister suggested other possible measures

“I cannot rule out that some anti-epidemic measures will be in place. We cannot think that the numbers will decrease by themselves. We will probably have to take some further measures, “said the minister. According to him, it should be targeted, not widespread.

According to Vojtěch, it is important to monitor the ratio of positive seizures to the number of tests. “Number eight or nine percent (ratio of positive tests from last days ed. note) is relatively high. We will see how it develops in the coming days, and we will take further action accordingly, ”he added. According to him, a ban on going beyond 500 meters, as in Israel, is now not appropriate.

Other regional measures against the spread of a new type of coronavirus in the Czech Republic came into force on Monday. In the entire Central Bohemian Region and in the Uherské Hradiště district, as before in Prague, restrictions on the opening hours of restaurants and bars, which must be closed between midnight and six o’clock in the morning, have come into force. In the capital, people should disinfect their hands before entering all publicly accessible buildings, restaurants, shops, hotels and other establishments.

From Monday, the post office is to start sending veils and a respirator to people over the age of 60. According to Vojtěch, sending them also to chronically ill people, such as cancer, is not considered. According to him, even medical secrecy does not allow the state to obtain the addresses of patients directly. According to him, however, a large part of such patients are in the age group over 60 who receive veils and a respirator through the Czech Post. However, their distribution to teachers is discussed. “I think it makes a lot of sense there, because we want to keep schools running,” he added.
