At the moment, it is not necessary to introduce a curfew in Sofia, the Director of the Sofia Regional Health Inspectorate Dr. Dancho Penchev said for BNT. According to Bulgaria’s Health authorities, this country should close the shopping malls, fitness centers and restaurants for a period of fourteen days, in order to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. Kindergartens, nurseries, schools, theaters, operas and cinemas will be closed as well. Hair and beauty salons will remain open.

The proposals of the health authorities are specific and clear. They will enter into force at a certain point and are to continue for a certain time. We have analyzed the situation and decided that the Police checkpoints set up on routes into and out of the large cities did not yield the necessary results, explained Dancho Penchev.
