A total of 4,565 PCR tests were performed in Slovenia on Wednesday, resulting in 852 new infections, government data show.
The number of positive tests was down by 237 compared to Tuesday and the positivity rate decreased by almost two percentage points to 18.7%. Hospitalisations remained at 546, out of whom 103 required intensive care, which is two persons fewer than yesterday. The national seven-day average of new cases was down from 766 to 763. Another seven Covid-patients died yesterday to increase the total death toll in Slovenia to 3,809. Slovenia remains in the orange tier, while the situation in the south-western region of Obalno-Kraška has deteriorated in the past week and it has been placed in the red tier.
Movement restriction and ban on gatherings in coastal region from Saturday
Gatherings are banned in the coastal Obalno-Kraška region from Saturday and travel between this region and others is restricted to work- and health-related reasons, the government decreed at Thursday’s correspondence session. The current level of restrictions remains in force in the rest of the country. The list of exceptions is the same as it was in place for all regions in the country before 15 February.
