Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev, a consultant of the Sofia Municipality on the vaccination process, has recommended mandatory tests for people entering Bulgaria from countries with a widespread Delta version of Covid-19. During the consultations at one of the vaccination points, the professor warned that measures should be taken and those entering Bulgaria should be tested with PCR tests.
