Exceptions to quarantine for students

We want to inform you that yesterday, 17.1.2022, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia issued an amendment to the Ordinance on exceptions to home quarantine after high-risk contact with the infectious disease COVID-19 and amending the Ordinance on temporary measures for the prevention and control of infections with the infectious disease COVID-19.

Exceptions to quarantine also include students, if high-risk contact occurs in the participation in the study process or activity (exams that are still conducted live). The mentioned students must self-test for the next seven days from the high-risk contact unless there have been more infections in each group.

Amendment of the Ordinance on temporary measures for the prevention and control of infections with the disease COVID-19 provides for an exception to the frequency of testing with a rapid antigen test for self-testing also for students, which must be tested daily for seven days from high-risk contact instead of being quarantined at home following an ordinance governing exceptions to home quarantine after high-risk contact.

The ordinance mentioned above gives students 20 rapid antigenic tests for self-testing per month.

The ordinance is valid from Wednesday, 19.1.2022.
