Shops selling technical goods, plants, trees, as well as shops with goods for installation, maintenance and repair services reopened today. Pet care services as well as some counselling and therapeutic services were also allowed to reopen.

They will remain open until Wednesday, December 23rd.

Meanwhile, book shops, shops selling stationary and gifts, shops offering photocopying services and those with baby and children's products will only open in the four regions with a better epidemiological situation - Central Slovenia, Goriška, Obalno-Kraška and Gorenjska.

Religious ceremonies are once again allowed in Slovenia starting today. Although the move comes just in time for Christmas, no midnight masses will be held this year.
