For just over a year, Czech student Jan Faltus has taken it upon himself to clean up Prague?s city center by disposing of litter and scrubbing graffiti but now, armed with a bottle of disinfectant, he has set his sights on Covid-19. Faltus started his Better City (Lepsi Mesto) project in October 2019 and his exploits attracted an ever-growing list of followers on social media and inspired others to get involved in street cleaning, too. Faltus wanted to help tackle the coronavirus when the number of infections began to jump by around 15,000 a day in the Czech Republic. He can be spotted around the city cleaning escalator handrails, park benches and the buttons on pedestrian crossings and parking meters. Czech health authorities on 09 November reported 3,608 new Covid-19 infections in the last 24 hours, 3,000 fewer than last week?s daily average. The downward trend comes after authorities imposed a lockdown in late October in a bid to curb the surge in cases. EPA-EFE/MARTIN DIVISEK ATTENTION: This Image is part of a PHOTO SET
