The Slovenian government will introduce a ban on leaving home from Tuesday to curb the spread of the coronavirus, government spokeswoman Jelko Kacin announced.
According to the regulations, with some exceptions, no one can leave the district or city in which they have a permanent or temporary address. Previously, the abandonment ban applied to regions, of which 12 are in Slovenia, 212 districts and cities.
In Slovenia, non-essential shops, restaurants and hotels, as well as beauty and hairdressing salons and, with a few exceptions, kindergartens and dormitories, were closed for a week from Saturday. The night curfew came into force on Tuesday last week and, starting Monday, educational institutions switched to digital education with the export of lower grades in primary schools.
