Prague reported its fifth 10k+ case day in the last week on Monday, leaving outgoing PM Andrej Babis to consider following in Austria’s footsteps in adopting a strict lockdown for unvaccinated citizens.
Ministers reportedly are advocating softer measures ahead of a government meeting on Thursday when a range of possible new measures will be discussed.
According to official figures, the Czech Republic has seen hospitalizations shoot up to 4,296 with 635 allegedly in serious condition from Covid.
