Slovenia New Corona Decreases new infections Border management relaxation May 16 5:51

In Slovenia in central Europe, the number of new cases of the new coronavirus has declined, so restrictions have been released and the border control will be relaxed from the 15th, without voluntary isolation within the EU. You can now come and go.

To date, more than 1400 new coronavirus cases have been confirmed in Slovenia, but this month the number of new cases per day has been decreasing, and the number of new cases per day has reached a single digit.

In response to this situation, Slovenian Prime Minister Jansha announced on the 14th that he would cancel the "declaration of an infectious disease epidemic" issued on March 12, saying that the epidemic of the new coronavirus has ended in Japan, and that the restaurant and school are closed. It is said that restrictions such as school closure measures will be relaxed.

Slovenia is the first EU member state to declare the end of the new coronavirus.

In addition, from the 15th, permanent residents of the member countries and people who have a residence permit from the EU will be allowed to enter the country without voluntary isolation, provided they are healthy.

On the other hand, we will continue to urge the citizens to keep their distance and to wash their hands, and continue to be vigilant.

Within the EU, Germany and Austria are aiming to open their borders after the 15th of next month, and movements to ease border control continue within the EU.
