Government to consider state of emergency

Health Minister Roman Prymula will ask the government to declare a state of emergency in connection with the worsening coronavirus epidemic in the country, Respekt.cz reported on Moday.

The matter is to be debated at the government’s next session on Wednesday, together with further measures to curb the spread of Covid-19.

Mr. Prymula said earlier they would restrict the number of people who can meet to 10 or 20 at the most and secondary schools are likely to be ordered to introduce distance learning for at least a month.
