Across Europe, govenment officials are focused on returning to a semblance of normalcy as the summer holidays approach. Lockdown measures in response to the coronavirus crisis have crippled the economy and tourism industry. Countries like Austria and Beligum are contemplating next steps from opening borders to instituting new bike lanes to allow for safer excercizing and commuting. Officials in Slovakia have been lauded for their swift and determined leadership in the crisis. After successfully flattening the curve of new cases, the country appears to be on a positive course.
