Kindergartens and the first three grades of primary school will reopen in nine of Slovenia's twelve regions as planned tomorrow, despite news that the highly virulent UK variant of coronavirus has been present in Slovenia since the start of the month.
he partial reopening comes after almost three months of closure. Mass testing of all teachers and other personnel in education who will return to in-person teaching got under way today.
Testing will have to be repeated every seven days, while the staff who have recovered from Covid-19 and those who had been infected more than three weeks ago need not to be tested.
