Slovenia sees 99 coronavirus cases in 1,793 tests on Saturday
LJUBLJANA - Out of the 1,793 coronavirus tests conducted in Slovenia on Saturday, 99 came back positive. A total of 31 persons were in hospital, five more than the day before, including six in intensive care, one more than on Friday, show fresh government data. No Covid-19-related fatalities were reported, so the national death toll remains at 135. There are currently 837 active cases in the country and seven Covid-19 patients are on ventilators, according to national tracker site Covid-19.sledilnik.
Quarantine ten days as of today
LJUBLJANA - The government decree shortening mandatory quarantine from 14 to 10 days became effective, both for those crossing the border from high-risk countries and those ordered to quarantine due to risky contact with infected persons. The decision was taken by the government earlier this week at the recommendation of its medical task force for coronavirus, which acknowledged the risk may thus be slightly higher but the burden on the economy significantly reduced.
