VIDEO Emotional speech of President Čaputová: We are losing the fight with COVID! We need a lockdown

Lockdown for two weeks with benefits for the vaccinated

Topky has a document that states that the lockdown should last for two weeks. Movement should also be curtailed, so that the new strict measures will be part of the emergency approval, which should last from Thursday to 15 December.

Schools should not be closed across the board, but should include compensation for entrepreneurs and benefits for the vaccinated. Details will be presented by the government tomorrow after the meeting. It will probably include a curfew from five o’clock in the morning until one o’clock the next morning. We know it from the second wave as a night curfew.

Restaurants, hotels, fitness centers and cafes should be closed. Movement to work, school, doctor or food should be allowed. The advantages for the vaccinated should be that, in addition to basic necessities, they could also visit other essential establishments and shops, which are defined in the current Decree of the ÚVZ SR.

We are losing the fight with COVID

After a tough lockdown, President Zuzana Čaputová also called today. After visiting the hospital in Ružinov, she called in an emotional speech that we stop spreading delusions about COVIDE and listen to experts. “Dear citizens, we are losing. We are losing the fight against COVID. Especially in the sense that we are the worst in the world in the number of newly infected people per million inhabitants. I do not know what needs to be done or what needs to be heard and seen, to change our approach, “ the president began vigorously.

There will probably be no strict lockdown

The situation is absolutely alarming for the president. “What we need is to stop spreading delusions about COVIDE and to talk about COVIDE and start listening to the experts. The consul consortium has clear recommendations that we need to limit mobility and that we need a lockdown.” she said she realized it was an unpopular measure, but it was absolutely necessary.

The three-week hard lockdown for everyone was demanded by the Minister of Health Vladimír Lengvarský, but SaS and Za lidí also demanded benefits for the vaccinated. At the coalition council, therefore, they had to reach a compromise, which, according to the Minister of Labor, cannot be called a lockdown for all. The new measures are to be approved by the government and then presented tomorrow after the government meeting.
