Un****ingbelievable. The Czech health minister, after putting the country in masks, and closing all restaurants apart from window take-aways, and deliveries, after 8pm gets caught last night heading into a restaurant at 10pm, without a mask.
Guess a new health minister will be announced very...

Cases 3,604 Deaths 40

Suspected cases 9,053 Deaths 10

Genuinely shocked seeing those figures today. Looks like the forced masking up here was good in the end despite the annoyance.
Here, bars & restaurants have been closed for 8 days, malls and shops (pretty much everything, apart from food shops), for 5 days, combined police & army patrols enforcing it, face masks in shops for 5 days, internal travel, unless for work or necessary food banned for 4 days, and since...
