“More than 70% of the Covid-19 test samples in the country are of the British variant. No Nigerian variant of the virus has been registered,” said Health Minister Kostadin Angelov in Kyustendil.

“The situation in the country is serious. In some places medical establishments are under severe pressure. There are no measures we would not impose, closing restaurants, shopping malls, gyms, sports, whatever it takes,” Minister Angelov said. “We are concerned for all people returning from Africa,” Kostadin Angelov said and added that quarantine will be introduced for them.

He stated that where necessary in the country school children will stay home and switch to remote learning, and that includes younger children and kindergartens, BGNES reports.
