Gyms and shopping malls remain open as checks for compliance with the current anti-epidemic measures continue. Kindergartens and nurseries remain open, BNR reporter Evelina Stoyanova informed.

According to an order by the head of the Sofia Regional Health Inspectorate, the number of beds for Covid-19 patients in all hospitals in Sofia will rise by 20% tomorrow.
