The cabinet took clear and timely measures for social distancing. That is a very positive thing. The cabinet launched an active, even hyper-active awareness campaign, said President Rumen Radev.

I am not criticizing the quarantine. I am calling for sufficient social measures. We have to set ourselves a clear national objective – how to exit these measures. I am not saying that we exit them now, I am saying that we must consider how to exit them so there will be no chaos. We are not talking about a date, we are talking about the criteria that have to be observed, said President Rumen Radev in an interview for bTV in which he answered viewers’ questions.
