Sulik preparing own pandemic plan, proposes local measures

Slovak Deputy Prime Minister and Economy Minister Richard Sulik is preparing, along with experts, his own pandemic plan that he intends to present in the next few days. The document will contain a set of measures in connection with the coronavirus pandemic. However, they will not apply to the whole of Slovakia, but to individual localities, depending on how serious the situation is in them. "Where there is a problem, we'll adopt suitable measures," Sulik said before a cabinet meeting on Wednesday. "These could even be a lockdown and shutting down all possible outlets, [but] it makes no sense to introduce harsh measures where there isn't a problem."
