The Czech Republic's prime minister called on his health minister to resign or be fired after he broke strict government restrictions to slow a record surge of
coronavirus
infections and visited a Prague restaurant.
Prime Minister Andrej Babis said Friday he will meet with the country's president later in the day to discuss a possible replacement of the minister, Roman Prymula.
``There's no other solution than his resignation from the post,'' Babis said.
