The Prague Hygiene Station (HSHMP) has reported eight confirmed new coronavirus variants in the last three weeks. “In one case it was a variant of gamma (formerly Brazilian), seven other diseases were caused by a variant of delta (formerly Indian). At the same time, the HSHMP expects confirmation or rebuttal of seven suspected new coronavirus variants, in all cases suspected of a delta variant, “said the spokesman.
According to the director of the Institute of Health Information and Statistics (IHIS) Ladislav Dušek, there are mainly younger grades behind new cases in Prague.

“It’s a little déjà vu. This is exactly how Prague behaved last summer, “said Dušek. “Everyone has a first-rate interpretation that a large number of bars have opened in Prague and people become infected there. It may be true, but I can’t confirm it at the moment, “he added.
