“The Ministry of Health will ensure a safe environment at school. But when the smallest children will return to school is up to the Minister of Education, in accordance with the organization of mass testing,” Deputy Minister of Health Alexander Zlatanov said in an interview for BNT. “The private educational centres will remain closed after the children go back to school,” he added.

“With the system the Health Ministry is proposing we are in for a complete fiasco,” said on his part Sofia Deputy Mayor for Education Miroslav Borshosh for bTV. “During the testing at school the teachers are going to be in the front line of the pandemic. The risk of infected children infecting healthy children will grow,” Miroslav Borshosh stated, and called for the children to be tested at home.
