PM Boyko Borissov held a virtual meeting with governors and members of the national coronavirus task-force after Minister of Health Kiryl Annaniev announced reimposing of some coronavirus lockdown measures.

The governors reported to Mr. Annaniev that in some regions there are no cases of COVID-19, whereas in others there is a surge in the spread of the virus. Non-compliance with the safety measures issued by the Health Ministry are among the main drivers of the disease spread, state the officials in their reports. 

The lifting of the restriction measures aiming at gradual returning to the normal social-economic life in the country failed to provide the desired results, said Minister Ananiev to PM Boyko Borissov. 

“Therefore we are reintroducing some of the restrictions from three weeks ago”, said Ananiev. 

Mr. Annaniev announced a number of measures designed to curb the spread of the virus, incl. holding indoor and outdoor sports for all group ages without live public. Enclosed nightclubs and bars will also be prohibited, whereas leisure establishments with open spaces will be able to remain open at 50% of their capacity. Social distance of 1,5 meters remains in place. Celebrations of more than 30 people in open and closed spaces will also be banned. 

“Practice shows that discipline is not our strongest quality which led to the reintroduction of the measures”, said PM Borissov. 

The Prime Minister ordered continuous monitoring of the hospitals’ capacities and encouraged the governors to take actions whenever needed.

“No matter what we will have to learn to live with the virus and if we abide by the safety measures by maintaining social distance, wearing protective masks and maintaining high personal hygiene we can reduce the stress on the healthcare system. This is our goal. You have the authority to enforce the restrictions,”, said PM Borissov.

During the virtual meeting, the Prime Minister showed confidence that the restrictions will play a crucial role in stabilizing the situation in the country. A positive sign for the recovery is the increase in the recovered COVID patients, added Borissov.
