Deputy prime minister Karel Havlíček tests negative for Covid-19

Deputy prime minister Karel Havlíček, who has been working from home in quarantine for the past week, returned to work on Monday after getting the results of a second negative test for Covid-19. The minister, who was in contact with a ministry employee who tested positive, published the news on Twitter.

Two other cabinet ministers – Labour Minister Jana Maláčová and Foreign Affairs Minister Tomas Petříček- likewise spent last week in self-isolation in connection with confirmed Covid-19 cases at their ministries. None of them suffered any symptoms.

Health Minister Adam Vojtěch, who  was  quarantined in connection with the positive test of the country’s chief hygiene office, also has no symptoms.
