The Slovak government has been
accused of stigmatizing the country’s
minority Roma population over a
controversial decision to seal off entire
communities to stop the spread of
COVID-19. Local Roma rights groups
said that the measure, which has
involved isolating Roma settlements
and sending army medics in to carry
out testing, has stoked stigma and
fear among both the Roma and the nonRoma population. “They sent the
army in, with helicopters, and Roma
were asking ‘why just us?’. It has
created fear,” Csaba Horvath, head of
the Slovak Roma NGO Opre Roma,
told The Lancet Infectious Diseases.
