Czech Rep., Sep 1 (BD) – Babiš said his “Best in Covid” comment last August was taken out of context and misused by some journalists and the opposition. “I was watching a video last year where journalists and the opposition scoff at me for saying we were the best in covid. I said V4. It’s the anniversary and V4 is the best in covid again,” he said.
A total of 30,404 people have died from Covid-19 in the Czech Republic until now.
