Entrepreneurs in Slovakia will be able to ask the state for temporary protection from bankruptcy, property seizure and similar issues due to a significant loss of income related to the coronavirus outbreak, which is strongly affecting their operations. This stems from a law approved in parliament on Wednesday. The law, however, does not concern those who had been in trouble also before the pandemic. People, who rent a house, flat or an office space will be also temporarily protected in the event of a delay in rent and may defer rent payments for up to 3 months. However, they must have a reason related to the new coronavirus pandemic.
