Czech government reluctant to relax lockdown - PM

The COVID-19 figures are not improving as the government imagined and since the situation is still not good, the lockdown will only be loosened with caution, Prime Minister Andrej Babis (ANO) told journalists today. He did not elaborate on whether this may influence the partial relaxation of the lockdown the government is planning for next Monday. "The situation is still not good. The figures have fallen, but not as much as we imagined. One has to loosen the lockdown cautiously," Babis said.
