Dr. Zlatanov pointed out that there are no contradictory opinions within the health authorities when it comes to containing the epidemic, and also that the statement made by the Director of the Sofia Regional Health Inspectorate Dancho Penchev that anti-epidemic measures are to be introduced in Sofia was “a mistake and a mix-up".
