Czechs again stocking up after Covid-19 numbers rise

A spike in known Covid-19 cases and subsequent restrictions are leading Czechs to stock up on medical supplies, iDnes.cz reported. Pharmacies are reporting increased sales of facemasks, respirators, anti-bacterial hand wash, hand sanitizer and vitamin supplements, the news site said.

However, unlike in March, when the cornoavirus was first detected in the Czech Republic, they say they now have sufficient stocks to meet demand.

Since Saturday it has been compulsory to wear facemasks at indoor events attended by over 100 people.
