The Slovak health ministry's spokeswoman, Zuzana Eliasova, said on Sunday that Slovakia is now waiting for further test results from Russia, which are expected at the end of May. "Yesterday we received by email from the Hungarian side the results of the tests, which are negative, they are alright," Lengvarsky told reporters on Friday. "In the next round we will communicate with our experts and mainly with the Russian side about the next development in this question.”

"Now the test run by Hungary's National Public Health Center in the EU-certified lab confirms that Sputnik V batch sent to Slovakia meets all safety and other requirements, debunking earlier incorrect Slovak statements to the contrary," a statement, shared on the vaccine's official Twitter account run by RDIF, said.
