A 9-year-old child from England is the 52nd case of a coronavirus infection registered so far in Bulgaria, the National Crisis Staff announced on Monday morning. The uncle of the child, who is also in Bulgaria's ski resort Bansko, had previously been in contact with his sister, who was suffering from a coronavirus infection. The 9-year-old child arrived in Bansko together with his uncle and his family on Friday evening.  Bansko is one of Bulgaria's most popular ski resorts where many British nationals have their own property.

Bulgaria's Crisis Staff recognizes that there is a clear tendency in the country for citizens to comply with the recommendations and orders issued in relation to the spread of the infection.

In the meantime, Bulgaria's Foreign Ministry has reported that a 53-year-old Bulgarian national with a permanent residency in Singapore has tested positive for  COVID-19. He has been on a trip to France between 10 and 12 March. Currently, he is placed in an isolation facility of the National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID) in Singapore and his condition is stable. The Bulgarian embassy in Jakarta follows closely the situation with the Bulgarian national in Singapore and stays in touch with the local authorities.
