Slovenia No Longer Accepts COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Tests for Entry - SchengenVisaInfo.com - SchengenVisaInfo.com

-

Since March 26, authorities at the Slovenia points of entry will no longer permit entry for those who present Rapid Antigen (RAT) tests as proof that they are not infected with COVID-19.

The decision has been taken by the Slovenian government, which adopted the amendments of the Ordinance setting out the requirements of entry into the Republic of Slovenia in its bid to contain and control the COVID-19 infectious disease on March 25.

"As of March 26 2021, a negative RAT test is no longer listed among the general exceptions for entry into Slovenia. Entry into Slovenia is now possible only with a negative PCR test; the same applies to the lifting of quarantine," the Slovenian Ministry of Interior notes in a press release announcing the changes.

Last week, on March 20, the same Ministry had decided that students under the age of 13 who need to cross Slovenia's border daily in order to study in this country do not need to present a negative result of the Coronavirus test upon their arrival.

Currently, Slovenia applies entry restrictions for arrivals from countries on the red list, which is a list of countries in the European Union and Schengen Area with the highest infection rates.

All arrivals from countries in the red list are obliged to self-isolate for a period of ten days or present a negative PCR test taken within the last 48 hours before arrival to Slovenia.

Those who can prove that they have been infected with COVID-19 within the last six months, and have recovered from it, are also exempt from the requirement of quarantine. Vaccinated persons who can prove that at least seven days have passed since they took the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine or at least 14 days since they took the second dose of the Moderna vaccine or a minimum of 21 days since the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

As of March 26, part of this list are the following EU/Schengen countries:

  • Andorra
  • Austria: all administrative units except the Vorarlberg administrative unit
  • Belgium
  • Bulgaria
  • Cyprus
  • Czechia
  • Estonia
  • Denmark (only individual administrative units): the Capital Region (Hovedstaden), Sjælland, and Syddanmark
  • Finland: all administrative units except the Northern and Eastern Finland administrative units
  • France – all administrative units of mainland France and all overseas territories except the overseas territory of Guyane
  • Croatia
  • Greece
  • Ireland (only individual administrative units): Eastern region and Central region
  • Italy: all administrative units except Sardinia
  • Latvia
  • Lithuania
  • Hungary
  • Malta
  • Monaco
  • Germany
  • Liechtenstein
  • Luxembourg
  • The Netherlands
  • Norway (only individual administrative units): Oslo, Vestfold og Telemark, and Viken
  • Poland
  • Portugal (only individual administrative units): Madeira
  • Romania
  • San Marino
  • Slovakia
  • Spain (only individual administrative units): all administrative units except the administrative units of Cantabria, Extremadura, Galicia, the Balearic Islands, Murcia and Navarra
  • Sweden
  • Switzerland
  • The Vatican

As per arrivals that are not on this list, they can enter Slovenia without the need to self-isolate or present a negative test for the presence of SARS-CoV-2.

surgical multi specialties medical group :: Article Creator The Decline And Fall Of Elite Multispecialty Medical Groups The failure of Geisinger Health System, which lost $842 million in 2022 and disappeared into a new Kaiser subsidiary called Risant, sent shockwaves through the health care community in the spring of 2023. Founded in 1919, Geisinger was in the vanguard of the so-called "value-based care" movement. It sponsored a regionally significant 600,000-member health plan and served as the home of an exceptionally high-quality 1,600-person multispecialty medical group. While Covid-related financial pressures, fateful management decisions, and troubled regional economic conditions all contributed to Geisinger's demise, federal health policy may have played a crucial role — and it could bring down other multispecialty groups in 2024 and beyond.
