SARAJEVO, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Slovenia and Croatia on Wednesday reported record high numbers of new COVID-19 cases of 12,285 and 10,427 respectively, with media cautioning that the real numbers were probably higher as laboratories could not process all tests fast enough.
Slovenia, which recorded a 41.5% jump from the day before and nearly 80% more cases than last Wednesday, shortened quarantine for those employed in the health, welfare and educations sectors to enable their normal functioning.
Croatia, with a 38% daily jump in the number of cases, reported 45 deaths. (Reporting by Daria Sito-Sucic; Editing by Jon Boyle)
