1 GENERAL - NATIONAL REGULATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1.1 Prevention is key
If we want to contain the spread of this disease, we all must act responsibly – to oneself as well
as others. To do so, we must consistently implement the following preventive measures:
• Wear a face mask and sanitise hands in closed public spaces and on public transport.
• Maintain a safe distance by staying at least two metres away from others.
• Regularly and properly wash hands with soap and water. If water and soap are not available,
use a hand sanitiser to disinfect your hands.
• Practice good respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette.
• Download #OstaniZdrav, a mobile app designed to protect health and human lives. It is a
tool that informs you if you have been in contact with an infected person. The app is
intended for use in Slovenia and is available in Slovenian and English language. To find out
more about the app click here.
Be mindful of cough hygiene and regular hand washing:
• Stay home if you are taken ill.
• Avoid staying in enclosed spaces, provide for regular ventilation.
• Avoid close contact with people who show signs of infectious disease.
• Observe the rules of cough and hand hygiene (wash hands with soap and warm water.
• If soap and water are not available, use hand disinfectant intended for that purpose. Use
hand disinfectant that contains at least 60% alcohol. Hand disinfectant is intended for
external use only. Surface cleaners or disinfectants are not intended for cleaning or
disinfecting your skin.
• It is important to first rinse your hands under warm running water.
• Scrub both hands with soap, which should be applied to the entire surface of your hands
(the palms and the backs of your hands, between the fingers and around the thumbs, under
fingernails), for one minute.
• Thoroughly rinse the soap off your hands with warm water.
• Pat your hands dry with a single-use paper towel. Use the paper towel to turn off the tap;
do not touch the tap with your freshly washed hands.
• Hand disinfection is mandatory in enclosed public spaces.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
• When you feel like coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with a paper
tissue. If you do not have one, cough or sneeze into the upper part of your sleeve.
• Dispose of the tissue in a waste bin after every use.
• After coughing or sneezing, wash your hands with soap and water every time.

28 January 2021
• The most effective measures:
SOCIAL DISTANCE HYGIENE TRACING APP MASK
At least 2 m Regular hand washing
and disinfection
#OstaniZdrav app
always on
Wearing a proper
face mask
1.2 Wear a face mask and sanitise
Masks and disinfection are mandatory:
• in all closed public spaces,
• on public transport,
• in open public spaces where it is not possible to stay two metres from other people,
• if there is more than one person in the vehicle and they are not from the same household.
Masks are not compulsory for:
• those carrying out organised sports activities with at least 3 meters of distance.
Apartment buildings must be equipped with hand sanitiser dispensers. Sanitiser must have at
least 60% alcohol content.
Masks are the only form of face covering protection allowed.
Ingesting food or drinks in public places is not allowed and is subjected to a fine.
1.3 Are you worried that you have been infected?
If you are ill (coughing, have a fever or difficulty breathing)
• Stay at home and avoid contact with other people.
• Call your doctor or, if he or she is not available, the emergency medical service. After
talking to you, the doctor will assess whether suspicion of infection with the novel
coronavirus is justified or not. If he or she decides that the suspicion is justified, you will
receive instructions what to do by phone.
Note: Do not visit your doctor, the emergency medical service or a hospital in person. When
in need of emergency medical care, please call first.
Please refer to the chapter 2.4 on page 10 and follow the protocol described there.
The most frequent symptoms:
− feeling unwell or fatigued,
6
28 January 2021
− having cold symptoms,
− fever,
− coughing,
− shortness of breath (in more severe cases),
− pneumonia (in more severe cases).
Novel coronavirus infections cannot be distinguished from other acute respiratory infections,
including pneumonia, based solely on the progress of the disease and the patient’s
difficulties. Microbiological testing is required to confirm or exclude an infection.
The novel coronavirus is transmitted between humans via droplets of saliva that people sneeze
or cough. This means that close contact with an infected person at a distance of less than 1.5
metres is required for transmission.
Infected persons must isolate:
Those who have tested positive for the novel coronavirus are ordered to isolate by their doctor.
They are not allowed to leave their homes, must limit their contacts and strictly follow the
recommendations for preventing the spread of the Covid-19 disease.
Social distancing and quarantine:
Social distancing is recommended for those who have been in contact with a Covid-19 positive
and infectious person. Contacts between family members pose the highest risk of the
transmission of the novel coronavirus. It is recommended that they do not have any contacts
outside their household, and consistently maintain a safe distance of two metres from other
people in public spaces.
A person who has been in close contact with a Covid-19 positive and infectious person is
ordered to quarantine. A healthy person’s freedom of movement is hence temporarily
restricted and he or she is advised to follow the instructions.
1.4 Travelling to Slovenia
Slovenia is trying to contain the spread of new coronavirus infections by the use of entry
restrictions and other measures at the border.
• Green list of countries: Arriving to Slovenia without restrictions or quarantine.
• Orange list of countries: Entry without restrictions or quarantine.
• Red list of countries: Quarantine for a period of ten days. The quarantine shall not be
ordered if a person, when crossing the border, submits a medical certificate proving that
they have tested negative for SARS-CoV-2, which is not older than 48 hours and was
performed in an EU member state, in a member of the Schengen Area, i.e., with an
organisation or individual recognised by the Institute of Microbiology and Immunology
7
28 January 2021
and the National Laboratory of Health, Environment and Food. Tests made by the
mentioned institutions in third countries will therefore be recognised.
The testing may also be performed by a rapid antigen test in an EU Member State or
Schengen Area country, and may not be older than 24 hours after taking the swab.
If a person who is put under home quarantine upon entry into Slovenia provides a negative
PCR or rapid antigen test for SARS-CoV-2, carried out during the quarantine, it is considered
that the quarantine is withdrawn. The person does not have to inform anyone about this,
but in the event of a control (by the Police, ZIRS or NIJZ), they must carry as proof both a
certificate (from which the date of referral to quarantine is evident) and a notice of a negative
test for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 (from which the date of the test and the result must be
evident).
