On Wednesday, 1,164 corona cases were reported in the Czech Republic, as many new infections as ever before. The previous daily high was significantly lower.
The corona virus is spreading at record speed in the Czech Republic. As announced by the Czech health authorities on Wednesday morning, 1,164 new infections were confirmed in the last 24 hours, more than ever in a single day. The previous daily maximum had been 796, reported the Internet portal iDnes.cz.
Record also for the number of active people infected in the Czech Republic
The number of actively infected people (9,272) is also at a record high. Most of them had a mild illness, many of them asymptomatic, he said. Observers see a connection between infections and the Christmas season, as Croatia is the most popular holiday destination for Czechs.
The World Health Organization (WHO) had already spoken on Tuesday of a “worrying” development in the Czech Republic and urged constant tracking and isolation. Prime Minister Andrej Babis, who is scheduled for talks in Vienna on Wednesday, only wants to do so in serious cases. The Czech Republic was considered one of the most successful countries in the crown crisis, and Babis particularly boasted of the early introduction of the mask requirement.
