Bulgaria is to introduce new and stricter anti-epidemic measures to contain the spread of Covid-19 pandemic, said this country’s Chief State Health Inspector Dr. Angel Kunchev after the meeting at the Bulgarian Ministry of Health. This country’s authorities will announce their decision on Thursday. In Sofia city and Sofia Region, the measures are likely to enter into force on Saturday.
