The main epidemiologist of the Pilsen region has decided to end up in office
The main epidemiologist in the Pilsen region, Professor Petr Pazdiora, will leave the regional hygiene station in Pilsen after about 40 years of work. He did not say the reasons. Hygiene will now announce a tender.
“It’s his private business. When applying for termination of employment, he does not have to state any reasons, nor did he state them, “said the director of the station, Přemysl Tomašuk. He doesn’t think there is animosity between him and Pazdiora, nor does he think he’s leaving because of his hard work in connection with the current coronavirus crisis. “But overall, it’s hard to evaluate,” he added. Pazdiora, as a regional epidemiologist, is the head of the Institute of Epidemiology at the Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen, where he also teaches.
Fans developed at CTU will receive domestic registration
According to the Minister of Health, CoroVent lung ventilators developed in the spring with the help of Czech donors’ money should have a Czech emergency registration by Wednesday. “It must be emphasized that fans are for emergent use, that they are not standard fans that are in departments, and in this sense they should be used,” said Prymula.
In the spring, over 12 million crowns were collected in the collection. The manufacturer MICo has previously stated that 182 fans were produced for them. From last week, hospitals can apply for them via the website of the Czech Technical University (ČVUT), which also participated in the development.
In August, the Czech lung ventilator received American certification, which is intended to facilitate their sale abroad. According to the company, the certification opened up the possibility of exporting CoroVents to North and South America, the countries of the Middle East and Asia.
In the Czech Republic, according to the latest data, there are 1,898 lung ventilators in hospitals, and due to the covid-19 epidemic, their free capacity is monitored daily. It dropped below 50 percent in mid-October, currently occupying 52.2 percent.
Police are prosecuting two people for violence after a demonstration
On Sunday, protests took place in Prague’s Old Town Square due to government restrictions, and some protesters clashed with police officers after the official end of the event. They threw bottles, stones, trash cans and firecrackers at them. The police used tear gas, a water cannon and emergency explosives, pushing them out with horses and vehicles. According to police president Jan Švejdar, one of the police officers has a severe concussion.
On Sunday, after a demonstration in the Old Town Square, criminal investigators detained 144 people, 14 of whom they suspected of committing a crime. On Tuesday, police charged two protesters. “All detainees, including both accused, have already been released,” said Eva Kropáčová, a spokeswoman for the Prague police.
Up to four years in prison are threatened with rioting and violence against an official. The Minister of the Interior, Jan Hamáček (ČSSD), also stated on Monday that the convener of the protest is responsible for what is happening at the event and will face administrative proceedings. However, according to his words, the organizer does not feel responsible for what is happening after the official dissolution of the demonstration.
