Hygiene Office confirms Prague mayor broke rules by coming to work with whooping cough

The Prague Hygiene Office has confirmed that people with whooping cough need to stay in isolation until the end of their antibiotic treatment, Deník N reported on Friday. Prague Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda caused a stir this week by returning to work while still on antibiotics after catching whooping cough in early March. He only admitted this to his colleagues after several hours of meetings in an unventilated room.
