According to the international expert community, the significant coronavirus activity will continue between 18 and 24 months. That is why each country has to find a balance between anti-epidemic measures and the restoration of economic and public life. Bulgaria will analyze the situation and will gradually ease the restrictive measures and activities.

Following today’s decision of Bulgaria’s Premier Boyko Borissov, the National Crisis Headquarters ceases its regular daily briefings. Information about the Covid-19 situation in this country will be provided via summaries.
