Slovakia has reported 1,180 new coronavirus cases, the highest daily tally since April as the country of 5.5 million experiences a surge in infections, reports Reuters.
The government said last week it expected the daily tally to rise to upto 3,000 by the end of September, which would be a smaller wave than peaks seen at the height of the pandemic in the central European country.
According to the government, nearly 76 per cent of the new cases are people without vaccinations. The number only includes cases confirmed by laboratory PCR tests, not point-of-care antigen tests.
