They were transported from the Chinese city of Wuhan to France, with stops in Brussels and Prague. From there, ambulances took them to a Banská Bystrica hospital in central Slovakia.
Two Slovaks were admitted to the department of infectology at F.D. Roosvelt Hospital in central Slovakia in the early hours of February 3 under strict security measures.
“The health condition of both is good,” the hospital’s spokesperson Ružena Maťašeje said, as quoted by the TASR newswire. She added no signs of acute respiratory disease have appeared.
Despite this, both of them will spend 14 days in quarantine. Samples were sent to a laboratory. The Slovaks were evacuated from China alongside 250 Europeans from 30 different countries on February 2.
