Czech Republic coronavirus updates, June 1: less than 40 new cases daily over the weekend

The Czech Republic reported 38 cases of COVID-19 on Sunday, according to the latest figures provided by the Czech Health Ministry this morning.

Sunday’s number follows 34 new COVID-19 cases on Monday, giving the Czech Republic two consecutive days with under 4o new cases for the first time since May 9-10.

Apart from a high of 111 new cases on May 18 that can be tied to the breakout at the Darkov mine facility, the daily rise in new COVID-19 cases in the Czech Republic was below 100 every day in May. At the height of the crisis in late May and early April, the daily rise was routinely 200-300 cases or more.

The Czech Republic conducted a total of 2,105 COVID-19 tests on Sunday, which was also low compared to other days over the past week, though a lower number of tests are usually conducted over the weekend. The ratio of positive results to tests conducted on Sunday was 1.81%.

In total, the Czech Republic has now conducted 442,866 tests, with 9,273 confirmed cases of COVID-19 since the start of the outbreak in mid-March.

Only 2,390 of those cases are currently active, however, as the country has also reported a total of 6,562 recoveries and 320 deaths.

“In reality, the virus clinically no longer exists in Italy,” he said.

“The swabs that were performed over the last 10 days showed a viral load in quantitative terms that was absolutely infinitesimal compared to the ones carried out a month or two months ago.”
