Bulgaria’s Chief State Health Inspector Angel Kunchev has demanded an extension of the emergency epidemic situation in this country due to the complicated coronavirus situation in Dospat, Sarnitsa and Sliven. The current emergency epidemic situation is in force until June 14. In Dr. Kunchev’s view, we cannot talk about a second wave of Covid-19, but rather of cluster cases of the novel coronavirus. The situation in these Bulgarian towns is complicated. That is why common measures need to be adopted in all municipalities, Angel Kunchev contends. Bulgaria’s authorities are to decide in the coming days until when the emergency epidemic situation will be extended. Some measures such as border control will remain after the possible extension of the emergency epidemic situation. However, we are not planning to restrict intercity travels or the access to parks and gardens, Angel Kunchev pointed out.
