Tests and antigen measures in force in Slovakia since mid-October have helped break the upward curve of the epidemic in the country, the fitness minister said at his press conference on Friday.
The biggest rupture in the curve occurred on November 3, Health Minister Marek Krajo told the press that efforts to involve the pandemic in attempts to keep a boat out of the water: evidence is like throwing buckets full of water out of the boat, while blocking Measurements are plugging holes in the back of the boat.
“We broke the curve, but we’re still a long way from a scenario where we can breathe with relief,” Krajo said. “If we are irresponsible, the curve will go up. “
Slovakia wants an optimal testing strategy to prevent this from happening, the minister admitted.
Kraja reported that the increase in the number of infections had decreased in the maximum districts. The highest affected lately appear to be the central Slovak districts of Detva, Krupina and Bansk-tiavnica, as well as the western district of Skalica. “He appeared to be older after mass tests using antigen testing, PCR tests detected an epidemic there,” Kraja said.
Despite slowing the expansion of new cases, the minister still expects new hospitalizations to accumulate in the coming days, “but as much as expected. “
What it rated as a positive news story minimized it in the number of replicas (R0) of the virus, which it calculated as less than 1, from 0. 7 to 0. 9.
“If we continue at the same speed with the tests and measurements we have so far, after a while, not too much, we would absolutely eliminate the virus from our lives,” Krajo said, though he admitted that this is obviously the case. there will be no mass evidence every week. The incidence of the virus for seven days remains higher in Slovakia, the national average is lately 1815.
The Ministry of Health will put in place a gentle trafficking formula for epidemic control across the country, which will then move on to this formula under two conditions:
From Monday 16 November, Slovakia will adopt the European method (ECDC) to make judgments on countries that are dangerous and less dangerous, making Hungary, Austria and Poland red countries. People in the red countries want a negative PCR test that is less than 72 hours old.
Initially, border personnel have had negative antigenic control less than two weeks old, but this has changed and you will not be asked to demonstrate the outcome of the control, but you will still need to be able to prove that it looks in the neighboring state.
The Pandemic Commission is opening from Monday 16 November:
Theatres, cinemas and churches will be allowed to open up to 50% of their capacity, as it has been explained that they have the least number of epidemics.
It will also allow the opening of gyms and swimming pools with a limit of a user consisting of 15 meters of surface, but no more than six people.
The moment ice hockey and football league will be allowed to run, even spectators. High-level competitions in football, ice hockey, volleyball, basketball and handball are now allowed.
Starting on November 16, students from a disadvantaged background who do not have suitable situations for distance education will have to return to school and take classes in small numbers, the Ministry of Education said.
“It’s a slight breath of freedom, much less than if we said we were going to be tested in the community,” Prime Minister Igor Matovic told the press.
He and Economy Minister Richard Stok had another primary dispute, when Sulak criticized the Prime Minister’s concept of relying on restaurants, gymnasiums, churches and other organizations to conduct on-site testing, which he called “community tests. “Matovic continually asked Sulok to come up with his own plan if he was not content with “community trials” or confinement.
