25 minibuses of the Ministry of Interior, equipped with a driver and a person trained in first aid, have been provided to the Center for Emergency Medical Aid, Minister of Health Prof. Kostadin Angelov has told BNR.

He added that all private ambulances will be included in the emergency system. "There are enough beds for patients with coronavirus in Sofia and in the country," the minister added. Prof. Kostadin Angelov also said that the suspension of planned operations did not interrupt treatment of people, but "priorities are set".

It has also become clear that a "significant change" had been filed to the National Assembly, providing that medical establishments refusing to treat patients with Covid-19 should not be financed by the health insurance fund. The Minister said he would start checks tomorrow in all hospitals - both private and public, where there is no willingness to open beds for coronavirus patients and added there would be consequences.
