and we have a couple of new fresh informations for the followers of the popular soap-opera After meeting with the president of the country (she was strictly against the idea of mandatory testing) our PM agreed complied and the governement then announced that the Nationwide testing will not be mandatory but only optional...BUT... ! However, not taking part to the testing will mean automatically 10 days forced home quarantine ! There will be mass nationwide testing of everyone (Slovak citizens and foreigners living and working in the country) in Slovakia using rapid antigen tests. It will not be compulsory, but after the test, everyone will receive an official confirmation (still not known which exactly, hopefully, it will not be some sort of weird bracelet or someting like that - however, anyone found in the public without such confirmation in the next 10 days will be fined ! (remember for not using mask the fine is 1659 EUR so just to say) So it essentially imposes a 10-day quarantine on anyone not willing to take part to the nationwide testing - so that people who don't go outside anyway don't have to get tested. Children below the age of 10 are exempt as well. 20000 medical personal will be needed, med students are encouraged to help. Army will organize the effort with 5000 testing locations, it will happen on Oct 30/Nov 1 and Nov 6-8. Swipe from deep in the nose, then 15-20 minutes wait for results on the spot. Pilot project this week 23-25 Oct in some chosen areas in the northern counties to test feasibility. People will get a date and time of their testing based on the first letter of their surname

The only IIHF World Championship program tournament of the year, the M U20 Top Division tournament will be held in Canada in a special "bubble" and withut spectators in Edmonton... and we already know the schedule.... The Tourney will start this time one day earlier than usual. The 25th December Christmas Day and it will be who will start the tournament against Here the full schedule https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2021/wm20/schedule and more information about the whole system and the special bubbles. The teams btw will have to live in special bubbles in their different countries also before their travel to the competition bubble https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2021/wm20/news/22713/world-juniors-schedule-is-here

Salwa Eid Naser cleared by AIU https://in.reuters.com/article/us-athletics-doping-bahrain-naser/athletics-anti-doping-charges-against-world-400m-champion-naser-dismissed-idUSKBN2751MQ

and it is Štefan Tarkovič who will temporarily coach the national team in the next 3 matches, including the most important of them the EURO Play-Off final in Belfast. If he´ll succeed, there some real chances he´ll get a full time contract. 47 years old Tarkovič was long time assistant (5 and half years) of Ján Kozák with whom they qualfied the country to the EURO in France 2016 and advanced even from the preliminary round there. During their era Slovakia played clearly the most sympathetic football in its history and experienced a very long streak of 9 winning consecutive games (SVK Historic record), (the team under them won for example also matches against Spain or Germany) which catapulted Slovakia into the top 20 of the FIFA World ranking.

So in the next days every inhabitant (not only citizens but also foreigners living or working in Slovakia) will receive information about time and place of their testing (both through SMS and via information letter from their respective city/village hall). Basically like it was already announced, in their respective voting station It should work by (surname) alphabetical order. The person will arrive to the station at the precise date and time, show his/her ID card, pass the test and will be placed in a special waiting place for the next 15-20 minutes then should receive his/her result in a closed envelope so only the tested person and the medical staff who will provide the test will know the result. If you are negative, it is fine, if you are positive, you´ll be send to home quarantine and you´ll find also all the instructions on the envelope what you have to do during your home quarantine. In every station there will be soldiers, police officers and medical staff (only the medical staff will be allowed to provide the test) Almost all medical staff (doctors, nurses, students) who will not have a hospital service on the day of the testing are/will be called for this operation. All residents of the country should be tested, except children under the age of 10, people in retirement homes and social services (they will be tested directly in these facilities), as well as patients and medical staff in hospitals (they will be tested directly in hospitals) and the elderly or immobile people (they will be tested by a mobile patrol that comes to their home) In the next day(s) it will be announced if the testng will be mandatory or just voluntarily (and if yes, then if these people will be sanctioned in some way...there were some rumors that who will not be tested will automatically lose some benefits like receiving only basic health care in the future for example...) However the governement expect and wish at least 80% attendance. The testing will occur in three consecutive weekends, already this weekend (Friday 23.10-Sunday 25.10) in the 4 most touched north counties with around 180.000 inhabitants will be sort of pilot test event and in the next 2 weekends (Friday 30.10- Sunday 01.11 and Friday 06.11 - Sunday 08.11 in all the remaining cities and villages of the country... Yes, weird, unique, unconventional ? in one word, Slovaks. Go and figure

Hundreds of Idiots, you know those mainly far right supporters commonly calling themselves as Ultras Football ...ehm...cough, cough "fans"...decided suddenly to present their dissatisfaction with the current measures in the country and asking for resignation of the PM and bla bla etc...etc... you know the song in front of the Governement office. in a unauthorized protest... But apparently no one said them that on Saturday there no one in the office so the Police had to show up in full force using water cannons, because the morons obviously can not protest normally and in surprise of nobody have to throw pyrotechnics through the gate and act like savages shouting insults about everybody who is not ..you know..."right"...
