According to a report prepared by the Medical Expert Council assisting the government in combating the spread of coronavirus in Bulgaria, social isolation measures implemented so far are imperative, Prime Minister Boyko Borissov said at an emergency briefing. In the course of the epidemic these measures can be rethought and if conditions were favorable, they could be eased. According to experts, the diagnosis of infection should be based on PCR tests and epidemiological follow-up can be accomplished through the combined use of other laboratory methods.

PM Borissov added that Bulgaria has called on the EU for the delivery of one million test kits for Covid-19.

Minister of Health Kiril Ananiev has proposed that Bulgaria should import two medicines from China, which when used in combination have shown positive effects on infected patients.
