Covid-19 outbreak at Vipava nursing homes as 21 new cases recorded in Slovenia

LJUBLJANA/VIPAVA - Fifteen Covid-19 cases have been confirmed at a nursing home in Vipava since its first resident tested positive on Friday. Nine of the infected people are Pristan Centre for the Elderly residents and the rest staff. The source of the infection is not yet known, but the centre is closed to visitors. The latest government data meanwhile show that 21 new cases were confirmed from 716 tests on Saturday, of which the majority, or four, in Vipava. Six persons were in hospital yesterday, none in intensive care, and one was discharged from hospital. There were also no new deaths, which leaves the national coronavirus death toll at 111. Yesterday's rise in new case prompted PM Janez Janša to take to Twitter saying "the virus is spreading from within", apparently in reference to non-imported cases. He also indicated that there are many violations of the law on infectious diseases and of coronavirus restrictions, especially in hospitality and public assembly, which is capped at 50 persons.

Almost 300 quarantine orders served on border Saturday

LJUBLJANA - Slovenian health authorities issued and served 290 quarantine orders on the border with Croatia and Hungary on Saturday, the first day of tighter restrictions for arrivals in Slovenia. More than half were issued to Slovenian residents who were returning from Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Health Ministry told the STA. The majority of orders for quarantine were served on the border crossing Obrežje with Croatia (130), while only five were handed out at Pince on the border with Hungary. Quarantine orders are served on the border as of 4 July, a day after the government changed a relevant decree to speed up quarantine order serving and moved Croatia, France and the Czech Republic from the green list of safe Covid-19 countries to the yellow one.
