There were 63 new COVID-19 cases reported in the Czech Republic yesterday, according to the latest updates from the Czech Health Ministry this morning.
A total of 3,398 tests were performed on Monday, about three times more than on Sunday, when 50 new COVID-19 cases were reported.
The number of new COVID-19 reported on Monday is significantly lower than on last Thursday and Friday, when a similar number of tests were performed but the daily rise in new cases exceeded 100 for the first time in June.
There are currently 2,681 known active COVID-19 cases in the Czech Republic, with 132 of those being treated in hospitals.
Since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis in mid-March, a total of 10,561 COVID-19 cases have been reported in the Czech Republic.
7,543 of those cases have fully recovered, and 337 COVID-19-related deaths have been reported, with that number rising by one yesterday.
Prague has been the most-affected region in the Czech Republic since March, with a total of 2,241 cases, roughly 183 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
Over the last seven days, however, Prague has only seen 6 cases per 100,000 residents, while significantly higher numbers have been reported in the Karviná, Frýdek-Místek, and Liberec regions.
Yesterday, the Czech Republic also removed some of the last remaining anti-coronavirus restrictions on local businesses, allowing spas and pools to operate with guest limits or social distancing requirements.
Also yesterday, the Czech government revised its “traffic-light map”, lowering Belgium from a medium-risk to low-risk country, meaning residents of the country can now travel to the Czech Republic without restriction.
Sweden, Portugal, and Poland’s Silesia province remain in the list of high-risk regions, meaning residents of those countries must have a valid reason (work or family) to enter the Czech Republic, and anyone coming from those regions need to produce a negative COVID-19 test.
Despite a recent rise in new COVID-19 cases in Germany, Czech Health Minister Adam Vojtěch stated that the Czech Republic was not considering elevating Germany to the list of medium-risk areas.
