Sunday saw lowest number of coronavirus cases since beginning of July

A total of 75 positive coronavirus cases were detected in the Czech Republic this Sunday – the lowest number detected on any day since the beginning of July. The reproduction number, which indicates the average number of people infected by one person with the virus, rose to 0.93, but is still low enough to suggest a downward trend in the epidemic.

The number of infections also fell in terms of week-on-week comparison – from 1339 to 1185.

On Sunday, there were 41 people hospitalised with COVID-19, the number having decreased by 15 since the beginning of last week. Out of these, eight patients require intensive care.
