Waiting times of up to three hours had to be expected in the capital Bratislava. On Sunday, the situation in the EU member state with just under 5.5 million inhabitants relaxed to a large extent.
The conservative Prime Minister Igor Matovic had presented the logistical mega-project as an alternative to a hard lockdown: "We have a great opportunity to show Europe and the world that there is another way, without the economy closing and millions of unemployed people."
According to the government, around two and a half million people were tested on the first day. The result was positive for 25,850 people. The share of around one percent was lower than expected.
