The president has cancelled her commitments, including a meeting Wednesday with Czech Senate head Milos Wystzil and Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen.
Slovakia has been praised for its response to pandemic.
It was one of the first countries in Europe to close its borders and introduced the mandatory wearing of masks even before the first cases were reported, reports the BBC, broadcast Klan Kosova.
EU and NATO member, who has a population of 5.5 million, has so far recorded only 1,589 positive cases.
