We are not planning to delay the forthcoming Parliamentary elections due to the coronavirus epidemic, Bulgaria’s Deputy Premier Tomislav Donchev said for BTV. “It is a completely different question how the election process should be organized, in order to create less risks to the population”, Tomislav Donchev commented.

 “The government is not afraid to impose temporary lockdown”, Deputy Premier Donchev said further and assured that the authorities are to adopt stricter measures if necessary. In his words, a complete lockdown is the easiest measure from the health point of view. “However, it has very serious repercussions for the economy, the social status of the people and their mental health”, Tomislav Donchev added. “E-prescription is expected to be available within several weeks”, Deputy Premier Tomislav Donchev went on to say.
