STA, 10 February 2022 - Slovenia confirmed 12,137 new coronavirus infections on Wednesday as the country continues to be on the downward slope of the Omicron-driven wave. Another 19 fatalities among 19-Covid patients were reported.
Week-on-week decline in Covid cases continues since more than 16,500 cases were logged a week ago. Both the seven-day average of daily cases and the 14-day incidence per 100,000 people thus dropped - the former by some 640 to 9,220 and the latter by nearly 100 to 8,143.
The National Institute of Public Health estimates there are now 171,691 active cases in Slovenia, down by 2,000 on the previous day.
Some 3,250 PCR tests and almost 124,100 rapid antigen tests were performed yesterday.
Figures released by the government show 530 patients are hospitalised with Covid as their main condition as of this morning, including 121 in intensive care. This is down by 18 and four, respectively, from yesterday. In all, 1,038 patients now in hospitals have tested positive for coronavirus.
