83 residents of six nursing homes and 23 staff were infected with Covid-19 in Slovenia as of Friday, government figures show.
A nusing home in Postojna could become a hotspot after an employee tested positive for the virus yesterday; all residents – there are some 40 – and staff are being tested today. Nine infected persons have so far died in Slovenia, all of them elderly persons with underlaying conditions, and several of them residents of nusing homes. The government announced that a special body bringing together directors of hospitals, community health centres and nursing homes would be set up in the coming days to see what else could be done to prevent the virus from spreading to nursing homes.
