Our paywall policy: The Slovak Spectator has decided to make all the articles on the special measures, statistics and basic information about the coronavirus available to everyone. If you appreciate our work and would like to support good journalism, please buy our subscription. We believe this is an issue where accurate and fact-based information is important for people to cope. The government has confirmed that several measures will be lifted from April 19, as the country will switch to the dark red tier of its Covid automat alert system. It is possible that measures will be further lifted next Monday, April 26, as Slovakia has met the criteria to switch to the red tier. However, the situation still needs to be carefully monitored, stressed PM Eduard Heger (OĽaNO).
