Slovakia has expanded strict coronavirus restrictions including hotel, bar and restaurant closures to almost a half of the country amid a record surge of infections, reports AP.
The government is expected to discuss additional measures as the country's health minister joined medical personnel who treat Covid-19 patients in urging Slovaks to get vaccinated.
On top of the hotel, bar and restaurant closures, people will be allowed to only buy takeout meals. Fitness, wellness and aquatic centres also have been shuttered. The maximum number allowed at public gatherings has been reduced to 100 fully vaccinated people. Face masks are compulsory indoors and outdoors.
