The state is considering giving out vouchers as an incentive for people to get vaccinated, Minister of Health in the caretaker cabinet Stoycho Katsarov said for Nova TV.

“Eating and drinking establishments where staff is 100% vaccinated will be able to continue to function with vaccinated clients. That is the idea – even if everything has to close, such locations will have the right to continue to function. The same is true of kindergartens. It is a matter of personal choice,” Stoycho Katsarov explained in a comment on voluntary vaccination.

“It is wrong to go about managing the epidemic only on the basis of incidence rate,” mathematician Luchezar Tomov, lecturer at New Bulgarian University on his part stated for the Bulgarian National Radio, in a comment on the new government Covid-19 response plan and the steps it envisages in the event of a new wave of coronavirus in the country.
