Bulgaria should not rush lifting the restrictive measures introduced against the spread of Covid-19, this country’s representative at the European Medicines Agency (EMA) Ilko Getov said in an interview for BTV.

Professor Getov pointed out that in order to maintain the current positive trend in terms of the coronavirus morbidity rate, Bulgaria should continue complying with the introduced restrictions until the end of February, when frontline workers and more elderly people will be inoculated against Covid-19.
