“I am sorry, we are still discussing the final form of the measure in the government. The announced speech must therefore be postponed, “Prymula said on Twitter.

The Minister was to appear in prime time on Czech Television, Nova and Prime at 19:54. Ten minutes before the start, when the televisions announced the speech and Novinky.cz was waiting for the live broadcast, a message came that there would be no speech.

Czech Television expected a speech after the end of the Events, but for example on TV Nova it was supposed to “hit” in the middle of the news. The television was therefore forced to fill in the agreed time at the last minute differently. She broadcast reports on stolen huts, a country football league and overpopulated voles.

Improving communication
The Minister of Health Roman Prymula set as one of the goals in the office the improvement of communication regarding information about measures in the fight against coronavirus. He called this one of the weaknesses. Confusion was accompanied, for example, by measures to wear drapes announced at the end of August.
–
Prymula wanted to talk about the need for further measures and probably to introduce the others that are currently being discussed by the government. Since it is still not over, it is not clear what measures Prymula should present.

So far, Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (YES) has spoken from the screens. This happened three times, in March, April and last in September. In his last speech, Babiš called on citizens to be considerate of at-risk groups and to comply with measures, especially the wearing of veils. He also admitted that he was lulled in the summer by low numbers of new cases and that the government eased the measures due to the atmosphere in society. In the spring, President Miloš Zeman also had one appearance on television.
–
The summer easing and the consequent delay in the tightening again at the beginning of September are partly due to the high increases that the Czechia has been recording since the beginning of the school year. So far, the most newly discovered cases are from Friday, when the infection was confirmed in 8618 people.
