PRAGUE (Reuters) – Slovakia’s Prime Minister Eduard Heger is intensively considering a possible three-week lockdown, like that imposed in Austria, amid a jump in COVID-19 cases, his office said on Monday.

The idea has been put forward by the Health Ministry, and Heger said expert opinion would be key in any decision.
