Czech Toymaker Equips Plastic Figures With Masks to Help Medics

To help children understand the coronavirus pandemic, the company that manufactures “Igrace,” the Czech version of the well-known German Playmobil brand, has launched a limited edition of figurines wearing masks. These figurines aim to teach children to wear protective face masks and the importance of social distancing. It is donating part of its sales from the toys marked “Help With Igráček” to purchase protective equipment for doctors and nurses in the central Vysočina region where the company is based. “We thought if everyone else has to wear a mask, then so should Igráček,” said Efko CEO Miroslav Kotik, adding that 15 Czech crowns of the retail price of the figurines would be donated to the effort. The company announced on Facebook on April 9 that sales of the special-edition figurines had generated more than 215,000 CZK in funding for protective equipment. The number of people with confirmed coronavirus infection reached 6059 on Tuesday morning, according to data released by the Czech Ministry of Health. The number of people registered COVID 19 positive rose by 68 on Monday, the smallest daily increase since March 17.   Join us on Telegram and follow our Insta Stories to read the latest updates on the coronavirus in the Czech Republic.

Schools in the Czech Republic Won’t Probably Re-Open Within This School Year

Czech schools that have been closed since March 11 over the coronavirus epidemic should have reopened in late May. However, as Roman Prymula said in an interview for the news site Seznam.cz, “it is unlikely that schools will re-open within this school year, at least not all of them.” According to the country’s Chief Hygienist Jarmila Rážová, high-school and university students would return sooner, but younger children would most likely be kept out of the classroom until the new school year. They said schools are in “exactly the same position as everyone else in the country” in terms of waiting for the science to guide when to lift restrictions on social interaction, workplaces and all other parts of society that have been forced to shut down. “We will re-open all the schools when scientific advice indicates it is safe to do so.” Norway, Denmark: Cautious optimism Norway is taking a different approach again, prioritizing the reopening of schools as it eases containment measures introduced in mid-March. It will begin to scale back its lockdown measures from April 20, Prime Minister Erna Solberg said, when kindergartens will start to reopen. A week later, schools will reopen for pupils in grades one to four....

VIDEO: Intensive Care Unit in Prague Half Empty as Virus Slows

The intensive care unit in Prague’s General University Hospital was half empty this week. On Tuesday the Czech government relaxed some of the country’s coronavirus restrictions. Unlike doctors at overburdened hospitals in other European countries, Czechs have not been forced to make decisions on who gets the best care. Five of the General University Hospital’s intensive care beds were still unoccupied on Tuesday. The Czech government has agreed to relax some restrictions imposed to contain the epidemic. Industry and trade minister Karel Havlicek said that starting Tuesday, people would not have to wear a mandatory facemask for outdoor individual sports activities, such as jogging or riding a bicycle. As of Thursday, more stores will be allowed to reopen, including hobby markets and businesses selling construction materials and bicycles. The government has also approved a proposal to cancel the ban on Czechs traveling abroad, starting on 14 April. Havlicek said people will have a chance to travel to foreign countries for business trips, visiting relatives, or for medical reasons. On returning, they will have to be quarantined for two weeks.   Join us on Telegram and follow our Insta Stories to read the latest updates on the coronavirus in the Czech Republic.

Czech Student Created Virus Spread Simulation

Bertram Škařupa, a Czech high school student, created a website to show how social distancing is important in consideration of virus spread. He created a simple simulation that illustrates the spread of a virus in different circumstances. “I worked on this project mainly for people who are tired of watching complicated charts or statistics. The simulation was also understood by my eight-year-old brother,” says the young programmer. The graph illustrates the progress of the virus spread. When a virus has no barriers, it spreads exponentially. That means that a lot of people get ill fast and then get better fast. However, when growth is exponential it quickly exceeds the healthcare capacity (represented by the black line). Fortunately, the exponential curve can be slowed and reduced through regulations like social distancing.   Strongest regulations Your browser does not support iframes.      Without regulations  Your browser does not support iframes.        Join us on Telegram and follow our Insta Stories to read the latest updates on the coronavirus in the Czech Republic.

eRouška App Can Trace Your Contacts Without Sacrificing Your Privacy

The COVID19CZ initiative is currently bringing out a new project which should push the country’s smart quarantine even further. We’re talking about a new eRouška application, which the Ministry of Health has taken under its patronage and which should facilitate an easier, faster, and more effective process of looking up people who are at high risk of infection due to contact with an infected person. The eRouška application is available for operating systems Android (download here) and iOS (it should be released for iPhone in the next few upcoming hours/days) and it’s based on the Bluetooth technology. Once the users give their permission to the app, phones with activated Bluetooth service can let one another know when they meet. The eRouška application then saves anonymized data into the owner’s phone about mobile devices with the same application which were recently in its vicinity. If a user’s coronavirus test comes back positive, the phone data can then be used to send anonymized identification numbers of other applications to health officers during an epidemiologic investigation. If once again the user gives permission, only authorized health officers will be able to pair individual identification numbers with phone numbers entered during the registration and...
