No anti-epidemic measures need to be introduced at national level, the outgoing Health Minister Asena Serbezova said in Varna. No businesses will be closed, Serbezova further assured. 

Varna is one of the municipalities where regional measures may be imposed, but for now there are enough hospital beds, she added. The number of cases is rising, but so far there is no load on the medical institutions, the minister noted and urged people to observe the anti-epidemic measures.

Serbezova also reiterated the possibility of vaccination, saying that free Covid tests could be introduced through GPs.
