The situation in the Czech Republic due to the COVID-19 pandemic is very serious, the country fears a total catastrophe. This prediction was made by the country's Prime Minister Andrei Babish, he is quoted by RIA Novosti.
He called for averting a possible catastrophe. “The number of patients with coronavirus in intensive care and connected to ventilators is growing dramatically. Today we will discuss the situation with doctors, with trade unions, with the opposition. In the evening, a Cabinet meeting will be held again. Of course, so far there is no question of resuming classes in schools, ”Babis stressed.
Over the past day, 15.6 thousand new coronavirus infected have been recorded in the Czech Republic. The total number of patients reached 127.2 thousand people, of which 6.8 thousand were hospitalized.
The Czech authorities have already issued a decree, according to which residents of the republic from February 25 in crowded places must wear two masks at once. The country's health minister Jan Blatny explained that instead of two masks, it will be possible to wear respirators without an exhalation valve, which have a degree of protection of FFP2 or KN95. Other means with an air filtration efficiency of at least 95 percent are also allowed.
