Slovak chief hygienist in self-isolation after meeting with coronavirus-infected expert

Slovakia's chief hygienist Jan Mikas has self-isolated preventively after being in contact with a member of the government's advisory body on coronavirus response who has tested positive for the virus, the Public Health Authority's spokesperson Dasa Rackova told TASR on Monday. Mikas will undergo a coronavirus test later this week. Health Minister Marek Krajci has self-isolated for the same reason, noting that he spent several hours in a single room with the infected expert. He added that everyone at the meeting, including Mikas, was wearing a face mask.
