PRAGUE—So far 65 people including active athletes have contracted COVID-19 as infections spread after a party at a Prague music club, the Czech capital’s hygiene service said on Wednesday.

The Czech Republic has recorded 14,324 cases of the new coronavirus and 360 deaths—a fraction of the worst-hit European nations—but it has seen a resurgence of new cases in the past weeks.
