Slovenia became the first European country to announce the end of the COVID-19 epidemic, after no more than 7 new cases of COVID-19 per day in the past two weeks.
Travelers to Slovenia from other EU countries will not have to isolate themselves, the government said.
2 million 1,464 cases of COVID-19 were detected in Slovenia, with 103 deaths. The epidemic was declared by the country on March 12.
“Slovenia has been in control of the epidemic for the past two months. Today, the epidemiological situation in Slovenia is the best in Europe,” Prime Minister Janez Janša said in Parliament on Thursday.
The end of the epidemic means that some measures, including financial support for citizens and companies, will be suspended in late May.
It is true that foreigners experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 will not be admitted. 14 days of mandatory self-isolation will also be required for travelers from non-EU countries, with the exception of diplomats and people transporting goods.
In mid-March, Slovenia closed schools, sports and cultural facilities, bars, restaurants, hotels and all shops except groceries. Public transportation was also stopped.
From April 20. The government has taken steps to alleviate the quarantine. Public transportation work resumed earlier this week, and some students will return to school next week. All bars and restaurants and hotels with up to 30 rooms will also open next week.
