Rapid-antigen tests continue to be free of charge for:

• Persons with proof of a positive rapid-antigen self-test result (a photograph with an ID or a swab delivered in a protective bag). A person makes an appointment for the rapid-antigen test with a test provider, presenting his or her proof for inspection before the test. In this case the costs of the test are covered from the government budget.
• Persons who wish to discontinue their self-isolation between days 7 and 10 after testing positive (RAT or PCR). A person makes an appointment for the rapid-antigen test with a test provider, presenting proof of a positive RAT or PCR result (e.g., a printout from the zVem app or an SMS with a positive test result) for inspection. In this case the costs of the test are covered from the government budget. To contain the spread of infection, we recommend the person makes an RAT appointment after a (negative) rapid-antigen self-test.
• Users of hospital services and services of other healthcare providers within the public healthcare system that offer inpatient care, and people visiting hospital patients.
  Rapid antigen testing is provided for by the provider of these activities and services. The provider may specify that the fulfilment of the RVT requirement can be proven by rapid-antigen self-tests that it provides. The rapid antigen screening is covered by the activity or service provider.
• Persons without Slovenian residence who work for a Slovenia-based employer or are diplomatic representatives of other countries with accredited residence in Slovenia.

IMPORTANT: Persons without permanent or temporary residence in Slovenia must cover the RAT costs by themselves (including when discontinuing their self-isolation).
