“After two PCR tests, as of today I am Covid-19 positive. I feel generally unwell, for now, at the doctors’ discretion, I am being treated at home. The Regional Health Inspectorate has been given the names of all of my contact persons. I am sure that, observing the measures, we shall get through this together,” Boyko Borissov writes.
