If you are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, stay at home. Call your doctor for instructions. Follow the website of the National Institute of Public Health https://www.nijz.si/en/koronavirus-2019-ncov and the website of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia https://www.gov.si/themes/koronavirus/ where you can find verified and up to date information. Avoid fake news spreading fear, panic that are inciting racism, violent and discriminatory behavior toward people with symptoms or those who have been confirmed to have coronavirus infection.

If you feel fear, anger, powerlessness due to the coronavirus … know that this is a normal response to the current situation. We cannot control our feelings. But we can control our actions. Despite feelings of fear, anger, helplessness …, our actions should be respectful of everyone, but especially of those with symptoms and those with confirmed coronavirus infection. The solidity of relationships to respect for human beings is always put to the test in times of aggravation. Let’s make sure we keep those commitments.
