In view of the increasing number of new infections with the corona virus, Slovakia wants to offer nationwide test options. Citizens would be able to get tested for free at around 6,000 stations across the country,
said Prime Minister Igor Matovic, according to the Slovakian agency TASR. Children under ten years of age are excluded. At first it was unclear whether the tests would be voluntary or mandatory. The government has ordered around 13,000 million antigen tests,
which it hopes will result in quick results. The action should therefore take place on the next two weekends. The police and the military should help with the implementation. "If we can do that, we will be a role model for the whole world," said Matovic.
On Friday, Slovakia reported more than 2000 new corona infections within one day for the first time. In total, the country has so far recorded 28,268 confirmed infections with the coronavirus.
