Slovnaft is one of the strategic companies in Slovakia and has an important function in the production and supply of fuels. Therefore, the company has put in place extraordinary security measures to protect its employees, co-workers and customers from the spread of the new coronavirus so that it can continue to supply its residents with oil products.
