Almost all medicines are available in the pharmacy network with the exception of some antithrombotic drugs, the chairman of the Association of Pharmacy Owners, Nikolay Kostov has told BNR.

He added that the demand and supply of medicines is not yet balanced, but there was a decline in demand due to calls to people to stop stockpiling medicines. According to him, many Bulgarians have placed themselves in a voluntary lockdown and limited going out on the street, social contacts, and shopping as this has been seen in the past ten days.
