Police will begin to work more actively with hospitals and mobile vaccination teams to provide greater protection against verbal as well as physical threats from vaccine opponents.

This was stated by the Minister of the Interior of the Slovak Republic Roman Mikulec (from the OĽANO party) after Wednesday’s meeting of the Central Crisis Staff. One of the topics on the agenda were recent attacks on healthcare workers.

‘The fact is that medical staff comes into contact with people who are threatening them, so it is necessary to take active measures to prevent such incidents,’ said Mikulec.

The crisis staff agreed by consensus on specific measures. Some of them will be immediately applied, others will be discussed at the next staff meeting, the Minister of the Interior explained.
