Prvomajske počitnice v koronačasih
May Day holidays in the time of corona
Written by Sonja Merljak Zdovc, translated by JL Flanner & G Translate
Marsikdo je že zelo naveličan vsega. Tako zelo, da se počuti kot ekonom lonec, v katerem se nabira para. Če pare ne more izpustiti, lahko eksplodira.
Many people are already very tired of everything. So much so that it feels like a pressure cooker in which the steam is building up. If steam can’t be released, it can explode.
Prvomajske počitnice so za sprostitev posebej priročne in marsikdo si želi na morje, v hribe, k dedku ali babici. Od petka se lahko premikamo med regijami v Sloveniji. Pot do hrvaške obale pa je bolj zapletena.
The May Day holidays are especially convenient for relaxation, and many people want to go to the sea, to the mountains, to their grandparents. From Friday we can move between regions in Slovenia. The path to the Croatian coast is more complicated.
Mejo s Hrvaško lahko brez negativnega testa ali ustreznega potrdila prestopijo le otroci, ki še niso stari sedem let. Vsi drugi potrebujejo hitri ali PCR test oziroma potrdilo, da so preboleli korono.
Only children under the age of seven can cross the border with Croatia without a negative test or appropriate certificate. Everyone else needs a rapid or PCR test, or confirmation that they have recovered from coronavirus.
Za vrnitev v Slovenijo pa ne zadošča hitri, ampak je potreben precej dražji PCR test. Izjema so otroci, ki še niso stari 15 let.
To return to Slovenia a rapid test isn’t enough, and a much more expensive PCR test is needed. An exception is children under 15 years of age.
