The situation is extremely serious and this has forced the government to resort to measures that are not popular among Bulgarians, the Minister of Health Dr. Stoycho Katsarov said on Nova TV. According to him, the current wave must be controlled in 10-15 days, otherwise a complete lockdown will be imposed.
According to Katsarov, if the measures are boycotted by the people, they will not work, but if they work, children from 1st to 4th grade will return to school.
