To highlight the most significant events and say goodbye to 2020, we collected the top searches in the Czech Republic.
The most searched Czech person was Milos Zeman, with a sudden peak in mid-October, when the Czech head of state’s hospitalization threw the country into a post-election limbo.
Czechs also expressed the most interest in Dominik Feri, the youngest and first black MP in Czech political history who was forced to resign in May following a sexual abuse and harassment scandal.
The “How to…” searches are also always full of valuable and surprising lessons to understand what was on the mind of a population. This year, Czechs were particularly keen on knowing more about:
- Jak dlouho platí antigenní test? (How long is an antigen test valid?)
- Jak vzniká tornádo? (How is a tornado formed?) – yes, the Czech Republic now has tornadoes, courtesy of 2021.
- Jak volit? (How to vote?)
- Jak dlouho trvá karanténa? (How long does the quarantine last?).
