REUTERS/Johanna Geron/Pool PRAGUE (Reuters) - Slovakia may be able to avoid harsher anti-coronavirus measures as a result of its plans for nationwide testing scheduled to start this weekend, Prime Minister Igor Matovic said on Monday. Authorities conducted pilot testing in four badly hit regions over the weekend with more than 90% of people participating, producing an infection rate just below 4% of those tested. The country will conduct wide-ranging testing over the next two weekends. “Today, we had only two options, either general testing, or complete lockdown,” Matovic told reporters after a meeting of the government’s Central Crisis Committee.
