“Cooperation between the Ministry of Health and the governors did not work perfectly, so the Central Crisis Staff had the distribution of protective equipment as its main task in the first wave. Now it is a platform for cooperation and communication with the regions, “says the Prime Minister Andrej Babiš from the YES movement. In recent weeks, however, the governors have criticized the government, which then set up a crisis staff after an initial rejection at the state level. Babiš refuses to set up the staff again late and works well according to him.

For a leader Pirates of Ivan Bartoš it is important that data on the spread of a pandemic be made available to researchers. According to him, from the very beginning of the pandemic, it is true that the elderly must be protected the most and that the patient curve must be kept low so that healthcare does not collapse. The number of places for covid patients is important. “The question of the staff is related, because if the number of infected health professionals grows, then they do not have to take care of the people who care, I think that the numbers are critical and we should focus on that,” comments Bartoš.

“I don’t think there’s a need for widespread action,” the leader thinks ODS Petr Fiala. He also criticized the inconceivability and delays in the government’s resolution of the pandemic. “At this point, I see no reason to move forward. The most important thing is that we do not proceed from wall to wall, we should proceed consistently, we have come up with those proposals and we continue to come, ”says Fiala.

Leader KSČM Vojtěch Filip is pleased that the Czech Republic has become involved in the development of the covid-19 vaccine. According to him, the key is not the question of its origin, but safety. “I see no ideological or political reason why we should not buy them where we can,” Filip comments.

According to Jan Hamáček from the CSSD the government should be the main body in the fight against coronavirus, assisted by other working bodies such as the Central Crisis Staff. “The whole thing is managed by the government headed by the prime minister, and the expert teams provide support. It can’t be otherwise, “says Hamáček.

Marian Jurečkawho chairs KDU-ČSL, would like to find a balance in the future between the protection of mainly high – risk groups and measures so that it does not harm the economy too much. The rules should be clear. “People make fun of it because they hear something different every day. Human life is always in the first place, but I think that we can look for such measures that will ensure the protection of vulnerable groups, but at the same time minimize the closure of society, “Jurečka concludes. According to him, the state should better compensate the income of those it has reduced.

The government would according to Tomia Okamury from SPD she shouldn’t have panicked. According to him, the police should not intervene excessively against people who do not comply with the measures. “First of all, only those vulnerable groups should be protected, I would let other people work and live,” says Okamura. He was the only leader at the debate to have no veil. According to him, however, the regulations allow you not to have a veil in the studio. He didn’t even want to put it on.

Markéta Pekarová Adamová from TOP 09 he thinks the government has fallen asleep in the summer and bought expensive time with a high budget deficit. “Most experts agree that the second wave will come. Some public events took place according to such rules, which were valid at the time, “Pekarová Adamová defended her support for the summer mass dinner on Charles Bridge in Prague.


According to the leader, distance learning is STAN by Vít Rakušan the worst possible solution. “School is not just a place where young people learn, it is an environment of social gatherings,” describes the Austrian. He taught at the grammar school himself and according to him the last year of graduation was very marked by an epidemic. The priority for him is the smallest possible amount of distance learning. “I would be very careful to wear the veils in the common areas,” he says. According to him, it is extreme in the classroom, it is important that the children sit more apart in half an hour.

Coronavirus came to the Czech Republic exactly seven months ago at the beginning of March. The first patient was Petr Toncar from Děčín. He contracted the disease in the Italian Alps. According to him, the worst part was the socio-media pressure, which accused him of dragging the infection. Eventually, five other members of his family became infected and then met in a home quarantine. Experience brought them closer. According to them, the worst of the epidemic at the beginning was fear.

Re-declaration of a state of emergency

Twelve days after the first case in the Czech Republic was confirmed, the government declared a state of emergency. That was when the Ministry of Health registered 118 people with covid-19. The state of emergency is now declared again from Monday, the number of infected has exceeded 36,000 people.

According to Prime Minister Babiš, the main reason for declaring a state of emergency is now the opportunity to get help to hospitals. Another reason is the possibility to limit the gathering of people to 10 or 20 people outside. Babiš allegedly recommended to the Minister of Health Roman Prymul that he be the only one who communicates on behalf of the ministry.


“Mr. Prymula is new, today (Thursday) he talked about some form in pubs, that’s nonsense, there will be no form,” Babiš denied that the government would introduce a registration form for restaurant visitors, as the health minister thought a few hours earlier. According to him, this does not make sense in the Czech Republic, even though a similar measure works in Germany or Britain.

“The state of emergency is completely different than it was during the first waves, we do not close the borders, we do not restrict the movement of people,” Babiš further responded to the question that, according to him, the only thing the state of emergency needs is a legislative framework to declare restrictions on movement.

According to Jan Hamáček, a state of emergency is necessary in order for the government to be able to issue measures that could not be issued under the Public Health Protection Act. “We need to have the power to call medics and we need to have backup beds outside the hospital,” Hamáček comments. According to him, the measure with the form in restaurants is the responsibility of the Ministry of Health.

Ivan Bartoš criticized the government and for insufficient promotion of the eRouška application. This could effectively help trace the infected through the use of each user’s smartphone. “For this to make sense, the application would have to be much more massive in the population,” Bartoš thinks. He also criticized the government for the delayed strengthening of hygienic stations, which have been overloaded by tracing for a long time. Therefore, according to Bartoš, registration in a restaurant would not help much, because no one would evaluate it anyway.

“If those things worked like a clever quarantine that the government promised and did not prepare, then we do not have to talk about such measures at all,” thinks Petr Fiala. He would like to strengthen the capacity of hygiene, testing and tracing. According to him, the government has not fulfilled its homework and it is therefore difficult to cope with the current rate of spread of the disease.

Markéta Pekarová Adamová points out that the words and actions of the government often differ. According to her, people do not know what measures are in place. “If even the ministers of the government are not able to agree in this direction, first to agree and unite together, we can not be surprised that people do not have confidence in what the government is doing,” says the head of TOP 09. form in restaurants. According to her, it seems that he surprised everyone and Prime Minister Babiš dropped the proposal on the recommendation of marketers.


Marian Jurečka criticizes the government’s action in August, when the cabinet did not introduce the obligation to wear veils indoors, as proposed by former Minister of Health Adam Vojtěch (for YES).

He gives Taiwan as a model. “They were able to become independent in the production of protective equipment in 90 days, they can trace,” he explains. According to him, the Czechia has managed the first wave, but now it is losing due to a lack of plans, tracing and unclear assistance to economically disabled people.

In the spring, the SPD wanted to amend the Public Health Act so that a state of emergency would not have to be declared in the autumn. In September, Tomio Okamura took a photo at a gathering of people who protested the obligation to wear veils and did not have them in the photo, even though they were in close contact. According to Okamura, it was because they consumed food and drink in the facility.

He does not agree with some restrictions, because many patients have a mild course of the disease. He also criticized the ambiguity of data declaring an emergency, such as how many people actually died from covid-19. “No one has demonstrable numbers of how many people actually died,” he says.

According to Prime Minister Babiš, the government has a clear plan and he himself has enough information about the development of the epidemic. According to Vojtěch Filip, the government declared a state of emergency primarily in order to be able to call medical students to fight the epidemic. “If the health and lives of citizens are a priority, we must ensure that medical staff are there. It needs to be solved by those specialized measures, “thinks Filip. He also talked about calling military doctors.

“The government has declared a state of emergency for 30 days, what will you do after what the numbers have to look like so that you do not want the state of emergency to continue, will the measures then relax?” Asks Vít Rakušan. He also criticized Prime Minister Babiš for downplaying Minister Prymula’s words about registration forms in restaurants, which he spoke about at interpellations in the Chamber of Deputies, as misinformation. “It’s a continuation of the confusion and chaos that your government has been waging all along,” he concludes.

“We can talk about whether we should have stopped it 14 days earlier or later, but the problem is all over Europe,” Jan Hamáček responds. According to him, the epidemic is returning and refuses that the government would prepare little for it.

Ivan Bartoš denies that the Pirates would ever be against the veils. According to him, people from the cultural sector have not healed over the summer and measures for leisure activities will have a major economic impact.

“Five days ago, I read that there are 13,000 people in quarantine and at the same time 29,000 are currently infected, it seems really strange in common sense,” points out Petr Fiala. Criticizes hygiene failures and delays in contacting people due to infection. He sees it as a government failure.

“When there are floods, we have a flood plan, as well as a pandemic plan, and now the components they have are not being followed,” criticizes Markéta Pekarová Adamová. According to her, the authors of the clever quarantine warned in the spring that two thousand people were needed at the hygienic stations and they are still not there. According to Vít Rakušan, the Central Epidemiological Commission was to meet over the summer.
