Dear students!

The Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a new Ordinance on Temporary Measures for the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases COVID-19 (Official Gazette of RS, no. 174/21; here and after Ordinance) that states:

for students, who meet the PCT condition with testing or self-testing, the ordinance specifies that the condition is met if the person proves his/her identity with a valid ID and one of the certificates (e.g., digital Covid certificate, record sheet,…),
in closed spaces it is mandatory to wear a surgical or FFP2 mask (fabric masks are not allowed),
from 15. 11. 2021, testing for students with HAG test kits for self-testing is performed three times per week (according to the Ordinance, you are eligible for 15 test kits, which you receive the same way as before at pharmacies).

Dear students!

We want to inform you that on 27.10.2021, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted a supplement to the Ordinance of RVT (recovered, vaccinated or tested) condition. The supplement to the Ordinance introduces more frequent self-testing for students (who do not meet the RV condition) from once to twice a week.

The amended measures apply from 1 November 2021. Students are entitled to 10 self-testing tests per month. You can obtain self-testing tests in the pharmacy from 29 October 2021.

Once again, we ask you to take responsible and preventive measures to protect yourself and others. Therefore, take special care to:

go to the lectures healthy
consistently take preventive measures for possible transmission of infection such as hand hygiene: frequent washing and disinfection, proper wearing of masks indoors, cough and sneezing hygiene, do not touch your face with unwashed hands, often ventile classrooms, and limit risk contacts
continue to fulfill the RVT condition for participation in the study process
follow the faculty's notifications for any additions or changes.
