16. April, 2021
Ljubljana – The number of new infections dropped both in daily and weekly comparison in Slovenia on Wednesday. A total of 891 new cases were confirmed in 4,278 PCR and 24,242 rapid tests, while a week ago the figure was 1,527 and on Tuesday it topped 1,000. Seven patients died.
According to data by the National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ), the rolling 7-day average dropped from 1,021 to 931 yesterday, head of the Government Communication Office Uroš Urbanija told the press, attributing this to the 11-day circuit breaker lockdown around Easter.
This means the country now meets the criteria for orange tier of restrictions, for which the 7-day average and the number of people in hospitals must be below 1,000.
