The new temporary measures against the epidemic, ordered by the Minister of Health, Prof. Kostadin Angelov, come into force today and will last until November 12. You can see the complete order of the Minister of Health HERE.

If the coronavirus situation worsens or at least does not improve, the prescription period can be extended. The reason is not only the growing number of people infected with coronavirus, but also the growing crisis in hospitals, where in some places there are no places to treat these patients or there is a shortage of doctors.
