The epidemic seems to be slowing down. But the only guarantee is a complete lockdown, says immunologist Hořejší

“It simply came to our notice then. I would probably see it as the epidemic starting to slow down a bit. That would be a good sign, “immunologist Hořejší told Novinka.

According to him, the data from the end of this week will confirm it. “It could just be a random fluctuation. It can only be a coincidence, “he warned.

Indirectly, he agreed with the Minister of the Interior Jan Hamáček (ČSSD), who told Wednesday on iRozhlas.cz that the new increase of 15,000 is not completely bad news, however a record.

On Friday, 6,770 people became infected by evening. That’s 1,300 less than last Friday by the same time. The reproductive number, which indicates how many people become infected with one coronavirus, has also been reduced. It is now at 1.1.

Lockdown is a certainty

According to Hořejší, it seems so that the government’s measures against the covid could start to work. “The first measures began a month ago and they should be visible now. In addition to the freshest, the effects could be seen. Maybe we are on the right track, “he added for Novinky.

According to him, the only recipe for improving the current situation is a complete lockdown. “It would be safer if it tightened and there was a complete lockdown. That is, when people would not go to work, for example, as they did in Israel. Then it would be certain that it will show, “he said.

“On the other hand, there is an analysis from professionals that if the current measures were followed, the complete lockdown would not have to be. So that the current measures will take place is a possibility. If we close it completely, then it is clear, “Hořejší told Novinky.
