Some 2,979 new cases of Covid-19 were registered in Czechia on Wednesday, 220 more than on the same day last week. Tests found that roughly 1,000 more people have been re-infected with the coronavirus, according to Ministry of Health data.
On Wednesday 1,134 people were hospitalised with Covid, with 40 of them in a critical condition. A week earlier there were around 370 fewer Covid patients in hospitals.
The current wave of the virus in Czechia began in early June. It should peak at the end of July, experts say, though numbers are unlikely to fall off greatly.

Fire officers fighting a blaze at the Bohemian Switzerland national park in the north of the country say they have now contained it to an area of around 1,000 hectares. Fire brigades have been on the scene since Sunday with officials saying the wildfire, which has led to evacuations and the destruction of some homes, was most likely caused by human carelessness.
Earlier in the week smoke from the fire could be smelled over large parts of Czechia, including Prague, which is 100 kilometres away from the national park.

The Czech government on Wednesday approved a budget deficit for this year of CZK 330 billion, the Ministry of Finance said. The lower house of Parliament passed a budget deficit of CZK 280 billion in March. MPs are due to vote on the higher deficit following a debate in September, with the motion expected to pass in view of the government’s comfortable majority in the Chamber of Deputies.
Prime Minister Petr Fiala said on Wednesday that when his cabinet were initially discussing the budget there is no way they could have known war would have begun 300 kilometres from the country’s borders.

Two popular tourist destinations in an area of North Bohemia hit by wildfires in recent days remain intact, the director of the Ústí nad Labem fire service, Roman Vyskočil, said on Wednesday. However, he said he could not rule out some damage to the Pravčice Gate sandstone formation and nearby Sokolí hnízdo building.
The fire service said on Wednesday that it had managed to get fires in the Hřensko district under control, adding that no further evacuations were planned. Hundreds of fire officers have been deployed to combat blazes that began on Sunday and aircraft from other countries are assisting in the fight.
A spokesperson for the fire service said that winds were hampering their efforts.

The move must now be approved by the Czech Parliament.
Ms. Černochová said the proposal does not include the deployment of soldiers in European Union training missions in Mali and Iraq as the future of both those projects was being discussed in the EU.

The Czech School Inspectorate is launching nationwide tests of physical fitness among schoolchildren and adolescents. The project aims to ascertain the level of physical fitness among schoolchildren and to provide schools with feedback and recommendations on physical activities. According to the inspectorate, children's physical fitness levels have declined both in strength and endurance and the isolation during the Covid pandemic has only exacerbated the problem. The tests of agility, speed, balance, and coordination, will provide a comparison with data from 30 years ago and with international research. The inspectorate plans to publish the results early next year.
