STA, 26 March 2021 - The country-wide curfew is imposed from 10pm to 5am from Friday after the government decided to shorten it in light of the coming Daylight Saving Time change. Entering into force today are also inter-regional travel restrictions in red-coded regions. A negative rapid test result is no longer valid to enter Slovenia.
Only a negative PCR test result will be accepted from today to avoid quarantine on entering Slovenia. Meanwhile, dual owners and lessees of land in bordering areas will no longer need a negative test every seven days to cross the border.
The coastal Obalno-Kraška, western Goriška and northern Koroška regions have been demoted to tier red due to a deterioration of the epidemiological status there.
According to Wednesday's government decree, there is a number of exemptions from the ban on movement into and out of the three regions, including travel for work purposes. Students who commute from the red-coded regions to other regions for educational purposes are also such an exception even though the decree does not mention them specifically.
Bars and restaurants in regions with best epidemiological status are still allowed to serve customers outdoors.
Rallies or events of up to ten persons are permitted across the country. Outdoor religious services are meanwhile capped at one person per 10 square metres or more in the case of members of the same household.
