Slovenian municipalities have taken different measures to help alleviate the situation caused by Covid-19 in Slovenia. To respond to the epidemic, which was officially declared in mid-March and ended at the end of May 2020, the municipalities took the following actions (depending on the municipality):
- provision of free meals
- food delivery to vulnerable groups
- provision of essential child-minding services
- implementation of movement restrictions
- free public parking
- provision of psychological support to residents
- issuing instructions to residents to relieve the pressure on healthcare facilities
- disinfection
- waiving or postponing the payment of municipal taxes, charges, rents
- organisation of volunteer groups
Now that the restrictions are gradually being lifted, the municipalities are coordinating their exit and recovery strategies at different levels to ensure a harmonised approach.
