We are not planning to introduce more stringent measures on a national level to contain the spread of coronavirus , Bulgaria’s Minister of Labor and Social Policy Denitsa Sacheva said for BTV. However, we are ready to take any decisions according to the epidemiological situation, Minister Sacheva added. A new measure to the tune of EUR 20 million is being prepared for businesses such as restaurants, educational and training centers, sports halls and gyms which would be affected by orders issued by this country’s minister of health, town mayors or district governors. We will be able to pay 80% of the minimum salary of these employees. We are ready to help 50,000 people, Minister Sacheva pointed out.
