Meetings and talks with representatives of restaurant sector in Bulgaria are forthcoming, said in Stara Zagora the Minister of Health Kostadin Angelov regarding the tension in the restaurant industry, BTA reported.

"Since the beginning of February, schools will reopen for students from 5th to 12th grade, and measures in the sectors of culture and sports will be relaxed. Once we see that morbidity and mortality rates remain stable, then we can talk about loosening of the measures in other sectors. What makes me happy is that in all the conversations in recent weeks there are no comments about overcrowded hospitals and lost lives, about delayed ambulances. This is a thing of the past, thanks to the efforts of all of us," Angelov said.
