Measurements as in the first corona wave
In shopping centers, supermarkets and individual stores, the same measures that were already in place during the first Corona wave will be reintroduced. Only one customer is allowed for every 10 square meters of commercial area, a distance of 2 meters must be strictly respected. Disinfection of hands or gloves must be offered at the entrance and protective masks are absolutely mandatory, which must be checked by the security service.
A large part of the measures will take effect from October 1, they could still follow stricter rules.
Compared to other European countries, Slovakia has so far been largely spared from the corona epidemic. So far, only about 9,300 infected people have been registered, there were a total of 44 deaths. Since the end of August, record after record has been recorded, last Friday an absolute daily record was recorded with 552 new confirmed infections.
Slovakia has exceeded the critical limit of 40 new corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants in 14 days, Health Minister Marek Krajci announced. The reproduction number of Covid-19 in Slovakia has increased from 1,156 to 1,206 and the number of infected people is increasing exponentially. The department head warned that only 30 days should pass before the numbers of those hospitalized react.
