Masks as a precaution against Covid-19 will not be mandatory on public transport starting Thursday, Prof. Radka Argirova, a member of the expert group on the coronavirus at the Ministry of Health, announced. "We can now say that we are coping with the epidemic," she commented.
According to her, there is a marked decline in the number of new infections in the country - about a thousand per day, while the number of patients in the intensive care units is below 50. Prof. Radka Argirova forecasts that Bulgaria is moving to the so-called endemic period and soon the coronavirus will be equated with the flu. However, masks remain mandatory in healthcare facilities, pharmacies, as well as in homes for the elderly.
