The European government of Slovenia has announced that from 23 August, persons in transit through the country will have to present a vaccination document, a COVID-19 test or a negative result.
“From August 23, transit through Slovenia will no longer be possible without compliance,” the government said in a statement after the meeting last night.
Until now, transit passengers do not need to prove their COVID status at the border if they leave Slovenia as soon as possible and in no more than 12 hours.
Exemptions from the entry requirement in Slovenia still apply to persons under the age of 15, land and real estate owners in the border area, migrants, border workers and international transport workers.
The new government decree also makes it mandatory to wear protective masks for visitors to public and cultural events indoors, and the wearing of masks becomes mandatory for outdoor gatherings if more than 100 people are present.
