Vojtěch to introduce three-level Covid-19 containment system Monday

The minister of health, Adam Vojtěch, says he will present a system based on three levels of measures intended to contain the spread of Covid-19. Speaking on Czech Television on Sunday, Mr. Vojtěch said the new “traffic light” system would be applied in a region-by-region manner and would spell out specific public health measures and also instructions to hospitals with regard to readiness for patient influxes. It will respond to community transmission numbers, he said.

The system will in effect represent a pandemic plan, which the government has been criticised for lacking.
