REUTERS/David W CernyPRAGUE: The Czech Republic's daily count of new coronavirus cases rose to 1,677 on Tuesday , the highest on record, as the country struggles with a resurgence of the pandemic.

Health Minister Adam Vojtech told parliament the government was planning to ban stand-up indoor events as of Friday to help stabilise the situation. The government put the current reproduction rate of the virus at 1.59, meaning that every infected person passes on the virus to more than one other."We have to calculate with that, although we are hoping for a certain decline or at least stabilisation from the measures adopted," Vojtech said.
