The Slovenian government has adopted new measures to contain the growing spread of Covid-19 infections sparked by the Delta variant. The restrictions were announced today, Saturday, at a press conference attended by the Minister of Health Janez Poklukar, the head of the advisory group at the Ministry of Health Mateja Logar and the director of the National Institute of Public Health Milan Krek.
The government’s decree enters into force on 8 November, except for the testing requirement for schools which will come into effect on 15 November.
The following prevention and control measures against Covid-19 will be put in place:
Minister Janez Poklukar said that the public administration will switch to working from home where possible, and such work organization is also recommended to other sectors.
Mateja Logar emphasized that the healthcare system in Slovenia is under a great strain, adding that all residents who need medical care must receive it, not just those suffering from Covid-19. "The measures must not be interpreted as an encroachment on personal freedom, but as something that will bring us back to normality and a sustainable healthcare system,” she concluded, as quoted by the Government Communication Office.
Milan Krek warned that if case numbers continue to climb at the present rate, the country will face a very difficult situation in the coming months. He urged Slovenians to join forces and control the virus together through mass vaccination and compliance with the measures, so that schools, the economy, and the healthcare system can function.
On Friday, according to the NIJZ website, 3,662 cases of infection were confirmed across Slovenia using PCR tests, which is 38.1 percent of those tested. 1,194,602 people were vaccinated with one dose of Covid vaccine, and 1,124,168 have received full two doses.
