Movement of people decreases by a third

The movement of people in Slovakia has decreased by a total of about 30 percent, according to data analysed by telecommunications operators. "We have registered a pronounced drop in the movement of people with mobile phones," informed outgoing Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini (Smer-SD) after a session of the Government and central crisis team on Wednesday. Some operators report decreases in movement amounting to up to half of their SIM cards. Such people are moving only around their own neighbourhoods, and if this trend were to change the Government stands ready to declare a nationwide state of emergency with restrictions placed on the movement of people. The outgoing PM stated that such a decision will likely fall to the incoming cabinet of Igor Matovič (OĽaNO).
