Babis asks Health Minister Prymula to step down

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis on Friday said he has asked Roman Prymula to resign as health minister, otherwise he will sack him. The prime minister said Prymula had made a "gross mistake" by attending a meeting in a restaurant now that they are closed due to Covid-19. Daily Blesk photographed Prymula and other people as they were visiting a Prague restaurant late on Wednesday. Prymula's behaviour in a situation where restaurants remain closed based on a government anti-coronavirus directive is "shocking, catastrophic and inexcusable", Babis said.
