Two days before the end of his 14-day quarantine Prime Minister Boyko Borissov stated, on Facebook, that the country was not going to be closed.

“Don’t be misled by liars, that was what they were aiming at – a putsch, they want there to be no parliament now, no decisions made, no financing for the systems. At the beginning we did close the country but we didn’t know what coronavirus was, and back then it had an effect. Now we know that self-discipline, looking out for others, that is the only thing that is saving us,” the prime minister said. “500 people a day recover, the country is not going to stop, people must be psychologically stable,” PM Borissov said, and added that everything has been provided for in the coming months, and after the appearance of the vaccine by April, the crisis will die down.
