Countries are at a different stage of the crisis - some are much more affected than others. It is very important that the gradual lifting of measures is based on scientific data in order to have no counterproductive effect, Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva said.

This is an asymmetric crisis and it is not only about health. We hope the exit from it will be much more coordinated, Minister Zaharieva added. Each country tries to save its tourism industry. Unfortunately, we will not be able to restore normal life in the summer. The call is to stay in Bulgaria. Student brigades are also delayed until May 12. Issuing of visas has been currently stopped, the Foreign Minister added.
