The simultaneous removal of many anti-epidemic measures in Bulgaria was a move that is not in line with the world practice. As a result, we do not know the loosening of which measure led to a second peak of the Covid-19 cases in this country, the representative of the World Health Organization in Bulgaria Dr. Mihail Okoliyski told the Bulgarian National Television.

However, the Police checkpoints are not necessarily the most effective measure, Mihail Okoliyski noted. In his view, Bulgaria needs to find a balance between loosening the measures, preserving the economy and protecting the population. Despite the recent increase of Covid-19 cases, Bulgaria is among the European countries which did best during the pandemic, which means that this country is not a dangerous destination, Dr. Mihail Okoliyski said further.
