At a press conference, the Slovak Republic&#8217;s prime minister said that widespread testing could be an alternative to the national quarantine in connection with the spread of coronavirus and covid-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We have taken a big step for Slovakia. With this experiment, we may have shown the way to other countries that are suffering from this disease,&#8221; Matovic said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Prime Minister, the results of the largest logistics event in Slovakia&#8217;s modern history do not mean that area quarantine restrictions can be lifted. Matovi\u010d again urged residents with a negative test result to behave responsibly in connection with coronavirus. The tests used in action are less accurate than laboratory PCR tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participation in free testing of residents over the age of ten was not mandatory. However, the government has previously decided that people with a negative test result will not be subject to a curfew this week. Those who could not be tested cannot, among other things, start work or visit offices or shops, except for shops that offer vital goods, including food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slovakia tested two-thirds of its population for coronavirus over the weekend.
