The government decreed that from today passengers arriving in Slovenia from seven countries in southern Africa are required to take three PCR tests during their mandatory 10-day quarantine, which was imposed already on Saturday.

It comes due to the spread of the Omicron variant of coronavirus.

The rules for entering the country were changed yesterday and the decree, published in the Official Journal, entered into force today.

The government also recommends for travellers from countries that are not on the list but where Omicron has been confirmed to take a rapid test on arriving in Slovenia.
