Curfew in from 8th April (Wednesday) 00:00 to 13th April (Monday) 23:59. the government approved restrictions of free movement of citizens from Wednesday 8th midnight to Monday 13th April 2020, 23:59.The Cabinet adopted a resolution after special recommendations of a group of experts, which met on Sunday (5th April) in the afternoon.However there will be some Exceptions: like travel to and from work, quick basic shopping, necessary/urgent doctor visits, attendance at funeral of relatives, short stay in the nature/countryside but only within the district, or within Bratislava and Košice for people living in these cities.The boundaries of the district or the territory of Bratislava and Košice must be respected also in the case of care of relatives or neighbors.At the same time, the government prohibited during this aforementionedperiod the right of all assembly and gathering, with the only exception of persons living in the same household. the police and the army will be involved in carrying out the commandments and keeping order. suburban buses and trains will not operate. So basically, People can following the tradition of easter monday "throw water" on their mothers, wives, daughters but only in their own home if they live together in the same household This seems a bit too much to me. The exceptions are good, but the enforcement of these codes by the military worries me. There’s a point where protection from infection goes too far, I think Slovakia continues to play with that threshold... “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Whenever a public curfew is announced military always is the one enforcing it. That's basically standard procedure in a state of emergency worldwide.

Benolympique 1,498 Posted April 6, 2020 #2544 Share Posted April 6, 2020 il y a 13 minutes, phelps a dit : if the pace doesn't slow down quickly, soon you're going to catch Italy in this tragic ranking... frankly, I don't know if our lives will ever be anything close to the days before this thing started... the problem is that in France, no one respects the Convention, and our government is too lax and does nothing to prevent people from sorting phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always knew we are starter than the rest of the world OlympicIRL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Ireland had 30,213 tests carried out by March 30th and it is still showing that figure in the worldometers table 1 week later.
