The Czech Republic is past the worst of the coronavirus and has managed to stop an uncontrolled spread of the COVID-19 disease, the health minister said on Wednesday.
"We can get ready for a gradual controlled return to normal life," Minister Adam Vojtech told reporters.
"We are certainly past the worst. At the same time, we have succeeded in protecting hospitals and intensive care units which still have reserves."
"This is a clear signal that... the uncontrolled spread of the disease has stopped."
