All schools in the country with a coronavirus incidence of more than 20% will switch to electronic education, regardless of students’ age. This has been announced by the Minister of Health Kostadin Angelov after a visit to the capital's Infectious Diseases Hospital. Training in higher education remains online after November 12, when the last order of the Minister of Health Kostadin Angelov on anti-epidemic measures expires. Practical classes will be held only in specialties for which online training is impossible.

It is being discussed whether the so-called green corridors for the elderly should be between 08.00 and 10.00, or between 14.00 and 16.00. The nightclubs remain closed until the end of the month. The new measures will become clear no later than November 11 after an expert council takes place, our reporter Poli Nacheva informed.

According to the minister, there is no shortage of beds in Sofia, but new ones are still being opened. "The large medical institutions will be restructured to provide at least 50% for Covid treatment. Therefore, they will receive additional funding," Minister Angelov was quoted by BNT.
