Currently, the risks to the Bulgarian economy related to COVID-19 are primarily external. Two thirds of Bulgarian exports are to the European Union and Italy is Bulgaria's second trading partner.

About a quarter of Bulgarians may start working from their homes as a measure against the spread of coronavirus, Velev said.
