Only 4 percent of respondents are totally against it and 11.2 percent rather disagree than agree. There were no significant differences in opinions of men and women.

Slovaks are planning to prepare for shop closure by making proper stocks. Exactly 64.5 percent of respondents admit that they will buy food in advance and while they plan to buy more than usual, 31 percent do not plan to change their habits.
