Adopting extreme measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus infection is not the answer to the problem, said Bulgaria’s Chief State Health Inspector Dr. Angel Kunchev. In his view, the easing of anti-epidemic measures on April 1 will be a breath of fresh air.

The easing of anti-epidemic measures is in accordance with the medical indicators. People get tired when the measures continue for more than two weeks, said for bTV Professor Todor Kantardzhiev, member of the National Operational Headaquarters and Director of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases. Covid-19 cases plateaued in Bulgaria and the number of new infections is expected to decrease within one week, added Professor Kantardzhiev.
