The agency CTK reported on Saturday. According to the military hospital in Prague, the 77-year-old triple vaccinated had been treated with antibodies for a positive corona test, but showed no symptoms of the disease. Zeman had previously been in the clinic for a month and a half because of complications from one of his chronic illnesses.
It is expected that the winner of the October parliamentary election, Conservative Petr Fiala, can now be appointed prime minister as planned on Sunday at 11.00 a.m. The chairman of the Democratic Citizens’ Party (ODS) should receive the certificate of appointment in Lany Castle near Prague. How the ceremony will take place is still unclear, as Zeman actually has to go into corona quarantine for 14 days.
The Presidential Office is currently preparing the form of the appointment ceremony, which should comply with the quarantine regulations. According to Health Minister Adam Vojtech (ANO), Fiala cannot be personally appointed by Zeman.
In Lny, Zeman is again being looked after by the Senior Home Group care company, which has been taking care of the president since he was released from the hospital on Thursday. According to a member of the company’s management team, the company requested a coronavirus test from Zeman on Thursday because the president had contact with an infected person.
The northern neighboring country with 10.7 million inhabitants reported a new daily record of new infections on Friday – 27,717. The hospitals are filling up with more and more Covid patients. The 14-day incidence was given on Saturday with 2,081 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants and is thus slightly higher than that in Austria.
The previous government under multi-billionaire Andrej Babis will temporarily continue to run the business until the entire new cabinet has been appointed. The handover is expected in mid-December at the earliest. Zeman is the first President of the Czech Republic to have been directly elected by the people twice after a constitutional amendment. He has been at the top since 2013.
