Slovakia reported its first case of the novel coronavirus on Friday, after a man whose son visited Venice in COVID-19 hotspot Italy, tested positive, AFP reported.
“Today, a 52-year-old patient was confirmed to be infected,” Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini told journalists.
He said the man, who has not been named, is currently hospitalised in Bratislava. “The patient did not travel anywhere recently but his son returned from Venice a couple of weeks ago,” Pellegrini added.
“His son has not shown any signs of illness,” Pellegrini said.
