Blatny should cope with epidemic as main task - Babis

Coping with the COVID-19 pandemic will be the main task for new Czech Health Minister Jan Blatny, Prime Minister Andrej Babis said when inaugurating Blatny today. The data from Friday are likely to show whether the spread of the novel coronavirus has slowed down because the models are not yet clear and the statistics were affected by the day off on Wednesday, with the national holiday, Babis said.
