The authorities in Bulgaria are considering stricter anti-epidemic measures in Bulgaria, if the test for Covid-19 which is suspected to be from the Omicron variant turns out positive. This was stated by the acting Deputy Minister of Health Toma Tomov.

Samples with suspected variants are currently being tested at the National Centre for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases. In parallel with the testing, the contact persons are being sought, the Deputy Minister added.
