Slovenia declares COVID-19 pandemic is over within its borders.
Slovenia declares an end to the COVID-19 epidemic, but vaccinations and some restrictions continue. That's the word from the Slovenian Ministry of Health as reported by Euronews.
Despite the positive news, the ministry plans to keep the population vaccinated and certain measures in place.
In the past 24 hours, Slovenia recorded 112 new COVID-19 cases and two deaths. As of today, approximately 769,248 residents have received at least one dose of western-made vaccines, with 551,906 adults fully vaccinated. Currently, 122 patients are hospitalized, with 40 in intensive care units.
The government declared the COVID-19 epidemic across Slovenia's territory on October 19, 2020, following a previous cancellation.
While the current search results lack detailed post-epidemic vaccination figures and hospitalization numbers for Slovenia, global vaccination tracking and case studies focusing on vaccination barriers in Lithuania and Ukraine are available [1]. These studies highlight challenges for refugees and internally displaced populations.
Measles outbreaks in Europe have been reported, pointing to low vaccination rates and complications within unvaccinated groups, mainly impacting infants/children in Romania and adults over 30 in France, Italy, Spain, and Poland [5].
To get more specific COVID-19 data for Slovenia, it's best to consult national health authorities, such as the National Institute of Public Health, or the WHO’s European Region reports [3].
In essence, post-epidemic vaccination rates and hospitalizations may be influenced by national policies and local uptake, but the latest figures aren't provided in this report. Instead, the results emphasize broader regional vaccine equity challenges rather than country-specific COVID-19 metrics.
