First case of coronavirus confirmed in Slovenia, Hungary

The patient returned from Morocco a few days ago via Italy. He contacted his doctor and was sent to the Clinic for Infectious Diseases in the capital of Ljubljana, where he was quarantined.

“We have to determine where he has been and how he travelled,” Slovenian Health Minister Ales Sabader said at a press conference.

So far, ten people were diagnosed with the novel coronavirus in Croatia, all exhibiting mild symptoms. Italy, where some 3,000 cases were confirmed and the death toll rose to more than 100, remains the worst-hit country in Europe.

In the meantime, the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that two students from Iran were tested positive on coronavirus.

The two are the first cases of the COVID-19 infection in that country.
