It is clear that Sofia is the city with the biggest number of newly infected people. Experts say the infection cannot be localized and that is why we need stricter control and we must rely on the discipline of citizens, Mayor of Sofia Yordanka Fandakova has told the BNR.

Thankfully, most of the cases are either mild or asymptomatic, which allows hospitals in Sofia to cope with the situation.

Our major goal is for the healthcare system to remain stable, for doctors and staff to be able to cope and protect themselves. The other goal is to limit the infection and at the same time keep life in the city normal, Fandakova added. The mayor predicts that the crisis would call for an update of the capital city budget.
