Skvernelis says the upcoming weekend will be "truly critical" as the country is fighting the spread of coronavirus, adding that people need "to focus and refrain from trips and contacts".
"I would also like to visit my mom this weekend. But I won't do that for the sake of her and my family's health. I am calling on everyone to do the same. Let's stay home as that is the best thing we can do today," the prime minister wrote.
