The epidemiological situation in Slovakia is extraordinarily serious, President Zuzana Čaputová warned after her Tuesday meeting with scientists of the government consilium.
Čaputová repeatedly underlined the need to listen to the voice of science because the "pandemic is exclusively an expert and not a political issue". Moreover, she urged the government to start carrying out measures that might be laborious but tried-and-true. "Let's devote less time to experiments," she claimed.
According to Čaputová, the scientists are in consensus on the need to apply more precise tracking of contacts. It's also necessary to increase the supervision and enforcement of measures. She added that it is ill-advised to overestimate antigen testing and that the PCR testing capacities should be boosted instead.
