Slovenia: Access is different according to vaccines taken

Dino Kozlevac, head of the Istria District Civil Protection Staff, explains that the one who received the Modern vaccine could enter Slovenia 14 days after the vaccine.

Those who received the AstraZeneca vaccine could enter 21 days after the first vaccine and Pfizer vaccine seven days after the second vaccine, writes the daily Glas Istre.

The “those who recovered after touching COVID-19 could enter Croatia and Slovenia with a medical certificate that is valid for six months. Therefore, those who were vaccinated should not have a negative test, as well as Croatian citizens who officially go to Slovenia, for security, civil protection and health work”, Kozlevac said, the Index.hr.

Slovenia has strengthened border measures since Friday: daily migrants -- students over 13 years old -- and those working in Slovenian companies -- must have a negative antigen test that is no older than seven days. After that period expired, the antigen test must be repeated, and, according to Kozlevac, it can be done in Umag, Porec and Buz.

People who transport students and those who use health services in Slovenia must also run an antigen test and pay for tests with their money. All others travelling to Slovenia for an justified reason should have a PCR test.

On the other hand, people on the transitor should not have a test or a certificate when they enter Slovenia.

These passengers must see what the state requires, the final destination for which they are travelling, whether Italy, Austria or any other country. They ask you where you're going. For Trieste? All right, they let you go, but if they find you stopping in Slovenia, you'll pay the fine. So you have to leave Slovenia on the shortest “route, Kozlevac explains.

Slovenian authorities' decision at the border will be valid at least until 2 April.
