Large Crowd Forms for New Clinic Registration Despite Weather Concerns
A significant crowd gathered yesterday outside the new health center in Cerkno, Slovenia, as residents sought to register for services. The clinic, operated by ZD Idrija, anticipated high demand, with the potential to accommodate approximately 1,400 patients. As reported yesterday, concerns were raised about potential disruption due to inclement weather.
One reader contacted the news outlet, stating, “I was told by the ZD Cerkno that it would be impossible to wait in the building, so the crowd would probably stand in the rain and cold for hours.”
In response to the anticipated turnout, a joint statement was released yesterday by ZD Idrija and both the Cerkno and Idrija municipalities. The statement, in collaboration with civil protection services, confirmed the provision of temporary tents to shelter registrants. However, the initial deployment of these tents proved insufficient to accommodate the large crowd.
Only one tent was established outside the health center this morning, leaving many individuals waiting for registration opportunities. Authorities are continuing to coordinate with civil protection to address the situation and ensure patient comfort.
