  • The Czech Republic said Tuesday it will close all schools, while neighbouring Slovakia suspended church services and Poland cancelled mass events in a bid to stem the spread of the deadly new coronavirus. "It is better to be proactive, rather than to deal with the problem later, or even too late as is the case in Italy," Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis told reporters. Elementary and secondary schools and universities will be closed from Wednesday until further notice, Babis said. The Czech government also imposed a ban on all events with more than 100 people in the EU country of 10.7 million people as of Tuesday evening, closing museums and galleries as well as cinemas and theatres. Prague reported an increase the country's number of coronavirus cases to 58 from 40 over Tuesday, while its larger northern neighbour Poland, which has a population of 38 million, put its tally at 21. Czech Health Minister Adam Vojtech tweeted that foreigners entering the country, including "ordinary tourists", would be tested and may end up in quarantine. In Slovakia, outgoing Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini said Catholic bishops have called off church services until March 23 in the devout country. With seven confirmed cases, Slovakia has banned mass gatherings for two weeks and ordered all Slovaks returning from coronavirus hotspots China, South Korea, Iran and Italy to remain in home quarantine for 14 days. All schools, universities, kindergartens remain closed this week in the capital Bratislava. Poland's top military commander, General Jaroslaw Mika, contracted the coronavirus while on a mission in Germany, the defence ministry tweeted on Tuesday, adding that he was doing well and that others who flew with him were in quarantine. Poland also banned mass events and expanded existing health checks on the German and Czech borders to also cover Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania. Travellers arriving by road, rail or ferry will have their temperature taken and their details will be collected in case they need to be contacted. Most of the COVID-19 cases in Poland have developed in people returning from Germany. Universities across the country also announced the full or partial suspension of classes for at least two weeks. Poland's PZPN national football association also announced that fans will be banned from two friendly matches scheduled later this month with Finland and Ukraine. bur-mas-frj/dl
