Minister of Health
In 2020, Krajčí managed to enforce a strict curfew and approve a COVID-19 machine. However, the situation did not improve for two months as expected.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Krajčí deployed Peter Stachura to manage the reprofiling of the hospital bed pool. Krajčí made sure affordable health care for people with COVID-19 by gradually sending the hospital bed pool and managing patient transfers.

Together with Igor Matovič, Krajčí secured the Russian Sputnik V vaccine for Slovakia, which they welcomed together at Košice Airport on 1 March 2020. This escalated long-standing tensions between the main representatives of the coalition and finally led to the outbreak of a government crisis.
