Válek: November to bring more Covid, flu hospitalisations

The minister of health, Vlastimil Válek, says he expects Czech hospitals to see increasing numbers of patients with Covid-19 and influenza in November. He made the comments during a visit to a Brno hospital to promote vaccination against the coronavirus.

Mr. Válek said that the number of people in Czechia who had had a fourth vaccination was approaching 600,000.

He said getting the jab was particularly important for the elderly and the obese and people with other diseases.
