Slovakia to drop proof of vaccination, when shopping or using services.

People in Slovakia will soon need no proof of vaccination, recovery or a negative test, when shopping or using services.

At the same time, the home isolation following contact with a student who tested positive in a classroom is expected to be cancelled.

This is the first phase of a relaxation of measures, as presented by PM Eduard Heger (OĽaNO). The second phase should become effective a month later, on March 28, when capacity restrictions should be dropped, and there should no longer be a limitation on opening hours. A change is also expected regarding the rules for wearing masks and FFP2 respirators.

This is a proposal for now, but Health Minister Vladimír Lengvarský said that he expects no major changes in the ordinances written by the Public Health authority, which translates the rules into measures effective for the country.
