In an interview for the Bulgarian National Radio, Bulgaria’s Deputy Premier Tomislav Donchev has assured that the state will provide automatic support to the business affected by the restrictions during the quarantine, but most of all it is thinking of the Bulgarian workers. The damages on the economy will not be limited to the damages during the quarantine and the government must be careful, because nobody knows how long this situation will continue, Tomislav Donchev went on to say. 

The estimated costs during the first phase amount to EUR 500 million (1 billion BGN). We are technically prepared to borrow a loan if necessary, this country’s Deputy Premier Donchev added.
