Slovakia is again tightening measures in response to an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases.
It’s already worth taking the new recommendations from the 15th of October!
Now we wear masks not only indoors and in transport, but also outdoors. It’s already quite cool now, so we can consider the mask as an additional means of insulation as well 
You’ll have to be patient without relaxing in restaurants and cafes. But you can takeaway food or eat on the terrace.
Gyms, saunas, wellness facilities and water parks are closing. But no one has cancelled walks yet, so nothing can prevent a healthy lifestyle!
Grocery shops and pharmacies have set hours for seniors from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. We remind you that elderly people are at a higher risk of complications and severe course of COVID-19.
Another rule will apply in shopping centres and shops – at least 15 m² per customer. This is aimed at avoiding large crowds of people.
Of course, all mass events are cancelled. Only funerals, weddings and baptisms are allowed, and that with nuances. The 15 m² per person rule will also apply in these cases.
In general, we are practically returning to the spring measures. But, given that they have already shown their effectiveness, we hope that this time, too, the increase in the incidence of the disease will be reduced 
The goal of such measures was also announced – a daily increase of no more than 500 new cases within a week.
I would very much like to see this goal achieved as soon as possible. Even more, we want the whole pandemic to be far behind us! And we can do our part by taking safety precautions!
Take it and don’t get sick! Take care of yourself and your loved ones
