Slovenia restricts moving to municipality due to COVID-19

Restriction of movement in the municipality will first be in effect for seven days across the country, and relaxation will gradually be introduced into regions that will be the first to limit the spread of the epidemic, Jansha has written on Twitter.

The number of new cases of COVIID-19 is increasing, so we are presenting new measures from the government's plan to control the spread of the epidemic,” he said, the duek added that at the moment there will be no need to accommodate the sick in tents or other similar environments.

In Slovenia, 1,675 new cases of coronary infection were confirmed on Saturday, five patients died, which is the second-largest number of patients since the beginning of the epidemic, the largest following record infections of 1961 a day earlier.

The number of patients in hospitals continues to rise, with 508 patients extended Sunday, 71 of them in intensive care units.

Slovenia has had a total of just over 23,000 infected since the beginning of the pandemic, and 241 people have died.

Currently there are 625.8 infected for 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days, which is one of the highest numbers in Europe.

So, among other things, stores are closed, except those who sell food and necessities.

The decision, announced by Jansha tonight, is unexpected, considering that these days it was only a last resort.

The closure of municipalities, which was in effect in the first wave of the outbreak in the spring, faced criticism and protests.
