Only fully vaccinated people will be allowed to attend events featuring Pope Francis, who will visit Slovakia in mid-September.
Moreover, the capacity of these events will be well above the allowed limit of 1,000 people, Health Minister Vladimír Lengvarský (OĽaNO nominee) and Stanislav Zvolenský, head of the Slovak Bishops Conference (KBS), said on July 20.
“We want to make the visit of the Holy Father in Slovakia a spiritual experience for as many people as possible,” Lengvarský explained.
Zvolenský said that this is the only way not to radically limit the number of participants in the events.
