Slovenia will reopen ski resorts and some shops and has eased restrictions — on people entering the country — imposed to help reduce the rate of Covid-19 infections, after coming under pressure over its handling of the pandemic, Reuters reports.

Daily migrant workers and academics entering Slovenia from European Union countries that have lower than 14-day incidences of Covid-19 will not have to present negative coronavirus tests, or be quarantined, the government said.

Only citizens of Spain, Portugal and the Czech Republic, which currently have a worse epidemiological situation than Slovenia, will have to present negative coronavirus tests, the government said.
