New minister not for restrictions that would handicap economy

New Czech Health Minister Roman Prymula does not want to introduce anti-COVID-19 measures that, though easier, would handicap the economy, he told journalists after his inauguration in office this morning, adding that people must share the will to cooperate. Prymula said there is no need to declare the state of emergency. Anti-virus measures can be introduced without declaring the state of emergency, he said but did not rule out that the situation might make its declaration necessary in a week or two.
