Self-isolation on arrival in Slovakia extended to 14 days

Slovakia has imposed an obligation for people coming from high-risk countries to self-isolate for 14 days rather than the previously set ten days, with the person in question allowed to go for a PCR test on the eighth day after their arrival at the earliest, TASR was told by Public Health Authority spokesperson Dasa Rackova on Monday. The change in the rules was motivated by the appearance of new mutations of coronavirus, said Rackova.
