| - Slovenian Foreign Minister Anze Logar tested positive for coronavirus after ending a tour to the Baltic, his office said Friday, as the EU country enters a partial lockdown on Saturday. Slovenia's government announced the country would enter a partial shutdown of public life after coronavirus infections that more than doubled over the last week. Logar returned on Thursday from a three-day tour to Baltic states when he met with his counterparts in Latvia, Edgars Rinkevics, in Estonia, Urmas Reinsalu, and Lithuania, Linas Linkevicius. "Minister Logar was positive at a routine coronavirus test. He shows no symptoms of the disease but he and his closest members of staff will undergo a ten-day self-isolation," the ministry said in a statement. Logar, one of Prime Minister Janez Jansa's closest allies, has had numerous diplomatic meetings in the region this month including with his colleagues from the Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Northern Macedonia and he attended the Council of Europe meeting in Luxembourg on October 12. bk/pma
