The Slovenian government announced on Tuesday that the state of pandemic, which was declared last October, would not be extended. "Today is the last day of the pandemic. The epidemiological situation in Slovenia is favorable, thanks to all those who respected the measures and decided to get vaccinated," the government spokeswoman Maja Bratusa said at a press conference.
The government will continue to help social welfare institutions, and provide funds for additional employment, and employees will continue to be entitled to bonuses for work in difficult conditions, said Mateja Ribic, state secretary of the Ministry of Labor, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities.
However, the monthly automatic extension of the exercise of rights from public funds ceases, Ribic added. Civil servants will no longer receive bonuses in the amount of 65 percent of their paychecks. Those health care and social service workers who work in direct contact with patients will still receive a 30 percent bonus with their basic salaries.
It is still necessary to provide 10 square meters per person at events without fixed seats, three meters distance between tables and a maximum of 75 percent occupancy of accommodation.
