The emergency epidemic situation has been extended until July 15, Prime Minister Boyko Borissov announced. We will not impose new or old stricter measures, assured the Minister of Health Kiril Ananiev. 
The requirements for observance of social distance and personal hygiene remain in force. The control will be greatly increased. The proposal is based on an in-depth analysis of the disease's development, Ananiev said. 
In connection with the measures, Prime Minister Borissov announced that no one in the world can say what is right or wrong. The whole world is acting based on the trial-error method, Borissov said, warning the sports minister that the stadiums would be closed due to the behavior of football fans.
