MOVING MEDIAN IN SLOVAKIA AND GRADUAL EASING OF MEASURES

How will the releasing of measures take place?

One of the decisive criteria for the releasing of measures is the so-called moving median of the number of infected in the last 7 days, which is monitored and evaluated on a daily basis and after approximately 2 weeks in one phase, it is decided whether to move on to the next phase.

When releasing the measures taken in the fight against the pandemic in Slovakia, the moving median is calculated from the number of daily new infected people in the past week, but adjusted for new infected people in the quarantine centers.
