Prymula to debate blanket population testing with doctors Monday

Health Minister Roman Prymula plans to discuss a blanket testing of the Czech population for the novel coronavirus with general practitioners on Monday, he said today, adding that the only way to accomplish the plan are the antigen tests that need not be processed in laboratories. The capacities of the currently used PCR tests are insufficient for such an extensive testing, he said. According to latest data, more than 31 percent of all samples tested on Thursday showed coronavirus-positive.
