The COVID-19 pandemic in Slovakia has resulted in 1,878,002 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 21,227 deaths.
The virus was confirmed to have spread to Slovakia on 6 March 2020 when Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini announced that a 52-year-old man was infected. He had not travelled anywhere but his son had travelled to Venice in Italy, and was later confirmed as the first Slovak to be infected. Three cases were then confirmed, including the man's son and wife. During the next few days, COVID-19 cases went up to 21 out of 832 tested.
As of 4 February 2023, 7,219,030 COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered in Slovakia.
