We expect the number of coronavirus cases to rise, Prof. Iva Hristova, director of the National Centre  for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, told Bulgaria ON AIR. "Intensive talks were held at the Ministry of Health and within two days the results and the new measures against the spread of Covid-19 will be announced. At least the wearing of masks should be mandatory everywhere in public places," said Hristova.
