In Slovenia, more than 24 new infections were confirmed by PCR testing in the last 17.000 hours, which is the highest number of new infections in one day since the beginning of the epidemic.
17.092 infections were confirmed, which is 4.799 more than the highest number seven days ago.
This is still unofficial data reported by the media, and the full report with the percentage of positive tests, the 14-day incidence of infection and the condition in covid hospitals will be published later today by the National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ), Hina reported.
Apart from the increasingly dominant and infectious omicron variant of the virus, the somewhat unexpected large jump in newly infected people in the last few days is also explained by the large backlog in testing.
The reason for the delay is that some of the samples are sent to a laboratory in Germany, so the results arrive a few days late and are added later.
The data from hospitals where the coronavirus entered and outside the covid wards, as well as the increase in infections among medical staff, are also worrying.
According to some data, already ten percent of medical personnel do not come to work due to isolation or infection.
