FILE -Slovak President Zuzana Caputova wears a face mask to protect from Coronavirus at the President palace in Bratislava, on Nov. 9, 2021. Slovakia’s leaders have been proposing a national lockdown as hospitals across the European Union country are hitting their limits amid a record surge of coronavirus infections and the government is set to discuss a lockdown plan for all, the vaccinated and unvaccinated, on its session on Wednesday. “It’s an unpopular measure, but absolutely unavoidable,” President Zuzana Caputova said after visiting a major clinic in the capital on Tuesday. Caputova said what she could see in Bratislava University Hospital “was tragic, was horrible.” “Experts are clear,” she said. “It’s necessary to restrict people’s mobility, we need a lockdown.” (Martin Baumann/TASR via AP)
