Slovenia may be able to eradicate the new Coronavirus within a month, health authorities say, as the country records no new COVID-19 cases for the second day in a row.

Slovenia has found only 7 new infections in the last 10 days, all of which were linked to known cases or outbreaks. The number of active and hospitalized coronavirus cases has been on a decline for several weeks. Currently there are only 21 active cases with only 4 COVID-19 patients in intensive care.
Slovenia has got to this point through social distancing and border control. The country entered lockdown mode very early and swiftly closed down facilities where the virus could be spread, including schools, religious services, major concerts and events, and urged everyone to stay at home.
