Amid coronavirus pandemic, Slovakian President Zuzana Caputova is taking the internet by storm after she wore color-coordinated face masks at different events. While the World Health Organisation (WHO) has advised wearing a mask only in case of illness or looking after someone who may have COVID-19, the Slovakian President decided to wear a tailored mask to suit her attire.
On March 21, Caputova appointed a centre-right coalition government headed by Igor Matovic, leader of the Ordinary People (OLANO) party. During the ceremony, Caputova's face mask stood out among the other participants due to the fashionable twist to it.
Earlier in another event, the 46-year-old Slovakian leader wore a blazer matching with the colour of her mask.
