The Sofia Regional Health Inspectorate also lifted the quarantine of Finance Minister Kiril Ananiev, after negative results of PCR tests on two consecutive days.
He was among the contact persons of the Deputy Minister of Regional Development and Public Works, Nikolay Nankov, who tested positive for COVID-19.
Earlier today, the quarantine of Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and his former publicist Sevdalina Arnaudova, who now works at GERB headquarters, was lifted. The two have also had contact with Nankov in recent days, but his test results are negative.
The Minister of Regional Development and Public Works, Petya Avramova, and the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Forestry, Desislava Taneva, who also contacted him, are still in quarantine, as the results of their tests have not yet been released. They are expected to clear tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the head of the RHI of Sofia, Dr. Dancho Penchev, commented on the debate that broke out on social media – why the quarantine of the prime minister, the minister and before the president was lifted so quickly, although according to the requirements a negative test is not a condition for it.
“The laws apply to everyone, including the President and Prime Minister of Bulgaria. Both Head of State Rumen Radev and Prime Minister Boyko Borissov complied with the provisions of the Sofia RHI for quarantine, after contact with a person infected with coronavirus. We do not guarantee random people. It is enshrined in a normative document that people who work as doctors, nurses, nurses, front-line people, teachers and people whose public work is absolutely necessary to continue the work process in any way, we are decontaminating, “Penchev explained to” 24 Chasa. “
“The two consecutive negative tests given by the president and the prime minister, are after the incubation period during which the disease can develop, which proves that both are not infected and complements the reasons for the decision of the RHI. The 10-day quarantine protects both front-line contacts and the people around them, so it will continue to be necessary for all contacts, “he added.
“During this period, it is expected that there will be some clinical symptoms and if you are on a free regimen there is a danger to those around you, and they are usually the people closest to you and those you love the most,” Dr. Penchev said. .
Following the example of other European countries, the quarantine will likely be further reduced in Bulgaria in the coming weeks. One option is to do it 7 days, after it was originally 14 days.
