The quarantine for the unvaccinated will be shortened after arrival in the Slovak Republic – PRAVDA.sk

The length of the quarantine after entering Slovakia will be reduced from 14 to ten days during its asymptomatic course.

Quarantine can also be terminated by a negative result of a PCR test performed on the fifth day at the earliest. Quarantine does not apply to fully vaccinated persons. This follows from a new decree of the Public Health Office on the border regime, which will be effective from 15 October.

The status of a fully vaccinated person must be proven upon entry into the territory of the Slovak Republic either by Covid with an EU card or another national certificate of a third country.

It must be stamped or electronically verifiable and must be in English. “A person who is not able to prove himself in this way is not considered a fully vaccinated person,” said Daša Račková, a spokeswoman for the Public Health Office.

Registration via eHranica will be mandatory for persons over 12 years and two months of age when entering Slovakia. “The deadline was set so that the person aged 12 years after the vaccination had the necessary time to assume that a sufficient level of protective antibodies would be able to develop in the body,” the spokeswoman explained.

Compulsory quarantine will not apply to persons entering the territory of the Slovak Republic with the aim of the necessary actions necessary to obtain a work permit and related documents for the profession of public transport and truck driver in the Slovak Republic, if they are able to prove about this fact. At the same time, these persons must have a negative PCR test result not older than 72 hours.

The United Arab Emirates has been added to the list of countries for which passengers (including vaccinated ones) arriving in Slovakia do not have to prove themselves by PCR.
