LJUBLJANA (Slovenia), March 27 (SeeNews) - A sixth person has died from the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Slovenia, as the number of infected rose to 632 by Friday morning, up by 70 from a day earlier, the government in Ljubljana said.

The latest count is based on the test results of 18,369 people, the government said on the website it has created for monitoring the coronavirus spread in the country.
