Speaking on a Czech Television debate show, Mr. Válek said he would recommend that people continue to use respirators if surrounded by strangers or in poorly ventilated rooms, because of both Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses.
The minister said that it was possible to ease this restriction as the infection rate was declining in the country while the situation in hospitals was improving.

The Czech minister of defence, Jana Černochová, is set to discuss the possibility of American troops being based in the Czech Republic in talks in the US with her counterpart in Washington, Lloyd Austin. Minister Černochová told the news outlet Deník N that she planned to raise the subject on a visit to the US after Easter. She hinted that the Prague government could follow the lead of Slovakia, where the American army uses two military bases.
Ms. Černochová said the important thing was to secure agreement on such a deal, which could take some time to be accepted by both sides and ratified by both houses of the Czech Parliament.
Labour minister Marian Jurečka said on Sunday that Přerov and Mošnov were two places American soldiers could potentially be located.

The Czech Ministry of Transport is considering changes to the country’s points system for penalising bad driving, Czech Television reported. Officials are proposing revising the number of points for particular misdemeanours, including doubling the penalty for holding a mobile phone while at the wheel. There will be three categories of infringement, instead of the current five.
Another planned change is allowing people to drive from the age of 17. This would apply to teenagers who have passed driving school tests and are accompanied by a driver with 10 years experience and no penalty points.
