The information provided by the Director of the Sofia Regional Health Inspectorate Dancho Penchev that “Sofia will be in the red zone on the basis of the 7 day-analysis"  and that "new restrictions will be introduced in Bulgaria’s capital" is not true, announced Bulgaria’s Ministry of Health. The fourteen-day morbidity in Sofia-city is 89 Covid-19 cases per 100,000 people, which according to the National Coronavirus Response Plan, does not require the imposition of additional restrictions. The Ministry of Health asked the head of Sofia Regional Health Inspectorate to explain his mistake.

Earlier today, the Director of the Sofia Regional Health Inspectorate Dancho Penchev said in an interview for BTV that from August 11 new restrictions will be introduced in Sofia due to the increased growth of people infected with Covid-19.
