"It's not about discrimination against the Romani, it's about trying to locate the infection and save the lives of people, their beloved ones and their neighbors. I call for support of these measures," Sofia Mayor Yordanka Fandakova told the BNR in a comment on tension in the residential areas of Filipovtsi and Fakulteta.

The Mayor pointed out that measures for restricting movement have been introduced because of the big number of people infected with COVID-19. "Outbreaks of contagion have been found with a large number of contact points," Fandakova said, pointing out the municipality along with the Red Cross, were ready to distribute food packages in both quarters.
