Czech hospitals prepared for possible coronavirus cases

Czech hospitals are prepared for the occurrence of coronavirus, which has not appeared in the country but the risk does exist, Health Minister Adam Vojtech told media on a visit to the Benesov hospital on Tuesday. Regarding the impending risk, Czech health facilities must coordinate their action, he said in the wake of a steep increase of coronavirus cases in northern Italy. A total of 86 people have been tested for coronavirus so far, and all tested negative, Vojtech said.
