We will not be able to cope with the growing number of infection cases in the next 10 days, but with the restrictive measures we will ease the workload on hospitals, Assoc. Prof. Spas Spaskov has told the "Horizont" program of the Bulgarian National Radio.

"If the measures needed to be continued, it would happen after the elections. The state cannot be closed during elections. I don't think we are late with the introduction of the 10-day lock-down. Introduction of common measures for the whole country is not so efficient and local measure must be taken," Prof. Spaskov added.

According to him, laboratory data from PCR tests were not always reliable.

Therefore, patients with symptoms of Covid - 19 should be those hospitalized and treated, Prof. Spaskov said.
