Health and Wellbeing during the Covid19 Pandemic




20 October 2021 (Wednesday)


9:00-11:00 am CET



The coronavirus pandemic has placed a huge strain on everyone's health and wellbeing and changed how we do business. We face new realities of working from home, temporary unemployment, home-schooling of children, and lack of physical contact with other family members, friends and colleagues. It is important that we build our recovery with sustainable solutions and look after our mental and physical health.


As the winter months approach, the business community is still learning to manage COVID-19. Organizations are having to keep up with changing COVID protocols, while, ideally, anticipating and preparing for future health issues. With this in mind, we bring together the public and private sector to share factual information, to learn more about the Covid automat and to minimise disruption and help businesses prepare for the next wave of Covid-19. We are also exploring further cooperation on how to leverage the Covid experience in Slovakia to help build a sustainable and resilient healthcare system, centred on the Slovak patient, and supported by private and public partnerships.
