Specific anti-epidemic measures must be implemented at local level, not strict restrictive measures for all. This is the position expressed by the Minister of Health Stoycho Katsarov at a briefing on the current Covid-19 situation in Bulgaria. However, he said that new measures were expected to be announced at national level on Friday.

If closures were needed, schools would be the last to close. According to Katsarov, the situation related to the spread of the virus was tense, but the system was well-organized. If we want to reduce morbidity and mortality, vaccination remains crucial, the minister added.

There are a total of 7,268 beds for coronavirus patients in the country, as 5,646 or 71 percent are occupied.
