Slovenia has officially called an end to the Coronavirus epidemic in the country. Furthermore, Slovenia became the first country to end the epidemic in the world. Alongside ending the epidemic in Slovenia, the government decided to open its borders with Croatia, Hungary, Austria, and even Italy, which was the Coronavirus hotspot during the epidemic.
This week Slovenia has also opened its hotels, hostels, fitness centered, spas, camps, and so on. Restaurants have been open for a few weeks now, and people have emerged from the lockdown. Slovenia is getting used to the “new normal” after the Coronavirus epidemic.
EBD has unveiled a list of 20 European destinations least affected by the Coronavirus epidemic (defined as up to 600 times fewer Covid-19 cases). The selection of the top 10 safest countries to travel to post-Coronavirus were chosen based on the following factors:
- proximity to hospitals
- number of hospitals
- hygiene protocols in accommodations, restaurants, shops and bars
- availability of face masks
- rules on social distancing
The Forbes magazine and European Commission have both named Slovenia as the best sustainable tourism destinations. Slovenia came in on 15th spot on the list of the top 20 safest countries to travel post-Coronavirus epidemic. Slovenia is or was 10 times less contaminated than the most-affected countries and it has more hospital beds per inhabitant than the majority of European countries.
Slovenia will be fully reopened for all tourists on July 1. No quarantine will be requested if the number of infections with Coronavirus in Slovenia does not rise. As of now, Slovenia is open to all European residents. Furthermore, Ljubljana Airport has also begun operating.
