Czech PM regrets early lifting of Covid-19 measures

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis has admitted that his government had made a mistake when it eased restrictions aimed at containing Covid-19 over the summer. His comments came as governments across Europe struggle with a second wave of Covid-19 infections following the holiday months in which the number of cases began rising sharply. 'Even I got carried away by the coming summer and the general mood. That was a mistake I don't want to make again,' the billionaire populist said in a televised speech.
