The Czech Republic is one of the few in Europe that has significantly slowed down the spread of the virus, the narrator says. The main difference is that everyone who has to leave their house has to wear a mask.
In an effort to set a public example, Babi and other politicians have addressed parliament and made national television appearances wearing masks.
But rather than provide the masks itself, the government has relied on the initiative of ordinary Czechs to ensure compliance with a rule issued days after a general emergency was declared that sealed the central European countrys borders and closed all but essential shops and services a move that transformed the tourist hub of Prague into a virtual ghost town.
