Officials have reported an 8th case of coronavirus in Slovenia.
The first five cases were reported in Ljubljana, the 6th and 7th in Maribor, and the 8th in Metlika. All the infections originate from travel abroad. Health Minister Šabeder says closing the country's borders will not stop the spread of the virus.
Meanwhile tourism and hotel workers say the situation is serious, with many hotels recording cancellations. Other companies whose businesses are also being affected by the outbreak, are calling on government to introduce tax exemptions and sick pay subsidies.
