Good to Know

Information from Piestany AG on the current situation:

"There is currently no case of the corona virus COVID-19 registered in Slovakia. The local health authority has already tested more than 113 cases - but all were negative. The Ministry of Health in cooperation with the Office of Public Health (ÚVZ) SR recalls that it has continuously monitored the situation and taken far-reaching precautions".

"The spas Piestany & Smrdaky take all possible precautions and coordinate them very closely with the local health authorities. Cleaning and disinfection in all hotel and spa areas have been increased as a preventive measure. We also ask all guests at check-in about their origin and their arrival route.

At Bratislava Airport, all persons arriving from already infected countries are subjected to a temperature test on entry. "Every passenger on board an aircraft from Italy (and other countries) to Bratislava must fill in a questionnaire, which we can use to identify and find them if necessary after their arrival in Slovakia," said the Prime Minister.

The Vienna Airport also takes all measures to prevent the COVID-19 virus.

It is important to mention that our guests prefer long-term stays, therefore there is a very low fluctuation of people at the spa Piešťany and Smrdaky. Currently we do not have any guests from already infected areas. Moreover, almost all our clients are under constant observation of our spa doctors during their stay". (Spa Piestany 4.3.2020)

Medical studies on cures at the Piestany Spa in the fields of balneology and rheumatology were conducted in close and intensive cooperation with the Faculty of Physiotherapy in Trnava and the Universities of Bratislava and Prague. All hotels are state-approved spa hotels with state-approved spa therapy departments. 24-hour medical on-call service, dieticians.

Effect of a complex cure proven with medical study.

"A complex spa treatment for a period of 21 days led to an alleviation of pain and joint stiffness as well as an increase in articular functionality for guests with knee and hip joint arthrosis".
