Once again, the number of recently recorded infections with the Covid-19 epidemic due to the coronavirus in Slovakia was broken in Slovakia, according to data released by the National Center for Health Information on Friday.
The country, according to the MTI, recorded 235 new infections on Thursday, a new daily record and nearly double the highest number reported in the spring. In Slovakia, for example, the daily average of new infections recorded, calculated on the basis of a week’s data, has been increasing more or less continuously for almost two weeks, which was 161 as of Thursday. Slovak Health Minister Marek Krajcí also spoke about the continuing deterioration of the situation at a press conference on Friday. He added that he expects a weekly increase of twenty percent.
Meanwhile, on Friday morning a measure by the government’s core crisis team took effect that put the Czech Republic on the list of countries at risk for Slovakia. In practice, this means that travelers living within a 30-kilometer radius on both sides of the border and, except in some other cases, those coming from the Czech Republic must have a negative test of no more than 72 hours, otherwise they will have to go home in quarantine.
In Slovakia, a total of 6,256 people have so far been diagnosed with the pathogen, according to data from the National Health Information Center on Friday, and 3,990 have recovered from the infection. To date, more than 403,000 virus tests have been carried out in the country.
