Slovakia has declared its former sister republic the Czech Republic to be a corona risk country. As Foreign Office State Secretary Martin Klus announced after a meeting of the national Corona crisis team on Monday evening on Facebook,
travelers from the neighboring country will in future have to present a negative Corona test that is not older than 72 hours, or quarantine at least five days at home. The regulation comes into force on Friday.
The Czech Republic and Slovakia were one state until January 1, 1993. To this day there are close economic and family ties between the two countries. For the neighboring countries #Austria and #Hungary, the Commission issued a recommendation to avoid unnecessary travel there.
It has not yet been decided whether the border with the largest neighbor, #Ukraine, will be closed, as many have expected, said Klus. Slovakia, with a population of 5.4 million, had only 5580 confirmed cases of corona infection and 38 corona-related deaths as of Monday.
This makes it one of the countries least affected by the pandemic in Europe. Recently, however, the daily new infections have risen rapidly
