• From 25 May, visits to hospitals and nursing homes will also be allowed.
• Inside the restaurant, the staff will have to wear a face mask and guests can take it off only while eating and drinking
• Establishments have to remain closed between 23:00 and 06:00. During this time, they can only operate through a window.
• In swimming pools, people will have to wear face masks – they will not be necessary only in water or on a lounger or towel.
• From 25 May, citizens will be able to visit the interiors of state castles and chateaux as well as zoos.
• Face masks, on the other hand, will not be mandatory outdoors, while maintaining a safe distance.

“We still do not underestimate the situation,” said Rastislav Maďar. “The virus is still here and that is why people should follow the rules. Wear the face mask, and keep a safe distance when possible” he added.
