Russian authorities insist there is no immediate plan to impose a second lockdown in the country, which has lifted most virus-related restrictions imposed in the spring. —-PRAGUE — New reported coronavirus infections in the Czech Republic were their highest for a third straight day, registering another 5,394 cases. The new cases take the country’s total since the pandemic began to more than 100,000. The government has responded by imposing further restrictive measures to contain the surge, some of them becoming effective on Friday and others on Monday. Among them, all theaters, cinemas, zoos, museums, art galleries, fitness centers and public swimming pools will be closed for at least two weeks.
