The measures in Bulgaria against the coronavirus are liberal because going to work was not forbidden work, the head of the National Crisis Headquarters against Covid-19 in Bulgaria told the Deutsche Welle. General Ventsislav Mutafchiyski said the effect of the measures is weakened because a denial of the existence of the problem has appeared and people start going out more and more boldly. 

Prof. Mutafchiyski added that Prime Minister Boyko Borissov was acting in compliance with the advice and recommendations of the crisis headquarters.
We are entering a period of rethinking the anti-epidemic measures and an analysis of what works and what does not needs to be done, Mutafchiyski said.
