During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic, he served as the head of the Czech government's Central Crisis Board (Czech: ústřední krizový štáb) and then as a government agent for science and research. On 21 September 2020 he was named as Minister of Health of the Czech Republic by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš following the resignation of Adam Vojtěch.[3]
On 21 October 2020, the tabloid Blesk published photographs of Prymula and Jaroslav Faltýnek leaving a restaurant late at night in apparent breach of COVID-19 regulations, under which all restaurants were supposed to be closed.[4][5] He was replaced by Jan Blatný on 29 October.[6]
