(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JAN 19 - Slovenia recorded 12,286
coronavirus infections on Tuesday, the highest number since the
beginning of the pandemic. The previous record was registered
just on Monday, with 8,681 people testing positive that day, the
Slovenian news agency STA reported today. On Tuesday, 63.2% of
PCR tests came back positive, according to the Slovenian
National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ). However, the real
number of new infections could be much higher. "Labs in the
country are overwhelmed and can no longer analyse all samples in
the same day. On Monday, more than 8,000 samples came in for
analysis at the Institute for Microbiology and Immunology and
2,300 were left for the next day," STA wrote today. Authorities
expect Slovenia will reach the peak of the current wave on
January 26, with hospitalisations possibly rising after that
day. (ANSA).
