Czech president not afraid of coronavirus, but praises aid to China

Czech President Milos Zeman would consider it more logical for people in the Czech Republic to fear flu rather than coronavirus, he said in a radio interview on Wednesday, but praised those who have sent aid to China spontaneously, including Foreign Minister Tomas Petricek. On the proposal of Petricek (Social Democrats, CSSD), the cabinet on Monday approved 10 million crowns worth of Czech aid to China.
