A planeload with one million respirators has arrived in the Czech Republic from China to help it deal with its growing coronavirus crisis, as reported by Czech Television. More flights should follow, carrying millions of masks and other medical supplies. According to the Minister of the Interior, three flights with similar loads should land weekly. “I’m convinced that the Czech Republic is out of the worst in terms of lack of protective equipment,” he said. The first deliveries are already being distributed to the regions which are desperately short of respirators and facemasks. The Czech Republic has ordered another 5 millions respirators from China along with 30 million masks and 250,000 sets of protective clothing but it will take until Sunday for the material to arrive. On Wednesday, a Czech aircraft landed in Prague-Kbely, carrying 150,000 testings kit for the coronavirus disease COVID-19.

Currently, there are 774 people in the Czech...

On Thursday and Friday from 9:00 to 12:00, you can donate your sewn face masks directly to the Town Hall located at Vodickova 18. They will be brought to hospitals, nursing homes, and private citizens. We will continue to work with the same modality next week. Today Prague City collected 170 face masks from the group Sousedskapomoc.cz. These will be delivered to hospitals in Prague 1 and other masks will be available for citizens of Prague 1. “We have come up with this initiative to help, as far as we can, to address the lack of masks, which are the basic protection against coronavirus and donate them to the most needed. We were delighted that many volunteers were willing to help,” says Mayor Petr Hejma. A Czech Army plane carrying 150,000 rapid test kits for the new coronavirus arrived at Prague’s Kbely airfield in the early hours of Wednesday. The minister of the interior, Jan Hamáček, says 30 million face masks should be delivered on Sunday. These will also be available to the public.
Prague citizens need to wear either medical masks, self-made masks, or a scarf to cover their nose and mouth to go to public buildings, shops, and public transport.
We have got the pleasure to interview Mauro Lovecchio, an Italian living in Prague since 2012. His company operates in the field of real estate management and during these trying times he came up with a unique initiative: offering flats to people who are in need. 1- You have a post on Facebook offering your flats to people who are in need. How does the rental process work? The idea came to me a couple of days ago after reading a post from an Italian citizen stranded in Austria. She needed to return to Prague but didn’t know how to deal with her compulsory quarantine, as she was sharing her flat with other people. Having several empty properties in Prague, it occurred to me that she could move into one for the duration of her quarantine. My intention is not to speculate on the situation but simply to evaluate every single case and find a solution that works best for all parties. Mutual respect will be the foundation of the “rental process” as you put it I believe that in very special circumstances, such as this one, we should do what we can to mitigate the effects that this...

Coronavirus is the main topic of conversation at the moment, many think the decisions made by the Czech government are great whilst others may feel they go too far. Either way, we as citizens, have to accept the new rules and adjust to them. Over the last few days our news feeds have been a little crazy with constant updates on new restrictions and regulations but this morning it was a big surprise to read that all restaurants and pubs must close from 6 am today for at least 10 days. Food lovers need not panic, we have some good news! This morning Prague Morning contacted several restaurants to find out how they are dealing with the new restrictions, obviously, they are far from happy about the situation but many have been preparing for this type of measure being introduced.
