Slight improvement of epidemiological situation in Slovakia

The epidemiological situation in Slovakia has improved very slightly, the head of the Health Ministry's Health Analyses Institute Matej Misik reported on Wednesday. According to Misik, the number of patients in hospitals is relatively stable. There was a decrease in the number of positive PCR and antigen tests performed. The number of patients in need of lung ventilation increased slightly. "However, it can be seen that the trend is not improving across the whole of Slovakia. In most regions, we can either still see a slight increase or stabilisation. It isn't yet possible to say globally that the situation is significantly improving or changing everywhere," added Misik. On Wednesday, the Government approved an update of anti-pandemic measures.
