Current COVID-19 measures
Curfew
From 8 February 2021, a curfew applies until the appeal, but no later than the end of the state of emergency, ie on 19.3.2021.
The relaxation, as well as the tightening of measures, began to be controlled by the COVID automat. The second level of warning currently applies to the Liptovský Mikuláš and Ružomberok districts.
Based on this decision, tourists can visit the natural beauty of Liptov with a negative test, not older than 7 days. If you are from the region, you do not need a test to stay in nature. Children under 15 and seniors over 65 do not need the test either.
