As of Monday 6 a.m., the distance limit for commuters from neighbouring countries is being extended from 30 to 100 kilometres, according to a regulation issued by the Public Health Office (ÚVZ). Quarantine will not apply to persons who have a permanent or temporary residence in a neighbouring state within 100 kilometres of the Slovak border and work in Slovakia (also 100 kilometres from the border). However, a negative antigen or RT-PCR test not older than seven days is required. Slovak citizens living in a neighbouring country within 100 kilometres of an open border crossing are also not obliged to go into domestic isolation. However, they will also need a negative test.
