PHI director said that the average number of hospitalizations has dropped to 394 from 466.”

“Even though we have continued with vaccination, we must be clear that the indicators have not dropped to the level that we deem appropriate to relax the measures. Even the charts of Europe indicate a spike in infection numbers, so I appeal to citizens to wear the mask, maintain social distancing, follow the rules and measures in place,” Fico said.
