The high rate “is due to many factors, Slovakia has made several mistakes,” Doctors’ Trade Union Association chairman Peter Visolajsky told AFP earlier.
“Introduction of the lock-down is rather late and it lacks sufficient monitoring.
we have ourselves to blame for this mortality rate caused by the overall bad condition of Slovak healthcare,” Visolajsky said.
