Czech-Slovak rail passenger traffic reduced due to Covid-19 spike

Czech and Slovak state rail operators have reduced connections between the two countries since Bratislava designated the Czech Republic a high-risk travel destination due to an uptick in Covid-19 cases.

Slovakia has since last week required anyway travelling from the Czech Republic to produce a negative corona test or go into quarantine, with some exceptions for commuters travelling for work.

Earlier, Czech Airlines announced it would suspend flights to Košice, Slovakia, and Amsterdam due to the current epidemiological situation. The carrier will not resume flights to Brussels and Warsaw, as planned for October, and will reduce the number of flights to Copenhagen.
