Ljubljana – The more virulent variants of coronavirus appear not to be very widespread in Slovenia yet. Two labs which conduct genetic sequencing have so far identified 35 cases of the UK variant and not a single case of the South African or Brazilian variant.
Tjaša Žohar Čretnik, the head of the National Laboratory of Health, Environment and Food, said Wednesday the lab had identified six cases of the UK variant in 1,096 positive tests for which they sequenced the entire coronavirus genome between 1 January and 22 February.
The Microbiology Institute at the Ljubljana Medical Faculty has confirmed 28 while one, a passenger who tested positive for the UK variant in Belgium, was not retested but has been added to the tally.
