948 of a total of 4,861 coronavirus PCR tests came back positive on Friday for a positivity rate of 19.5%, the government said on Saturday. 513 Covid-19 patients were in hospital, 95 requiring intensive care, while 13 died. The 7-day incidence average was at 763, one fewer than the day before.

Slovenia's state budget revenue was at EUR 890 million in January, down from EUR 1.7 million in January 2019, while expenditure went up by 48% to EUR 1.32 billion. The measures designed to mitigate the effects of the coronavirus crisis drove the deficit to EUR 432 million, which amounts to some 17% of total deficit planned for this year.

Tighter coronavirus restrictions kicked in in the coastal Obalno-Kraška region today after the epidemiological situation in the south-west worsened. Gatherings are banned and travel between the region and the rest of Slovenia is restricted to work- and health-related reasons. Schools and shops up to 400 square metres meanwhile remain open.
