Almost 400 people, now including a number of school children, have come down with the disease since January – a jump of epidemic proportions from last year’s 128. Although hygiene centres, hospitals and schools have mobilised against the threat, things are still expected to get worse before the current epidemic is stifled. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/4f5197446b1f6808606b2a0aab5e5a67.png?timestamp=1583150525 https://english.radio.cz/capital-central-bohemia-see-epidemic-level-rise-hepatitis-a-cases-8591983 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
