The prescription will be issued by the holder of the respective Regional Health Inspection, as before, but the requirement to be at the suggestion of the treating physician is eliminated. The duration will be determined by order of the Minister of Health at the proposal of the Chief Inspector of Health of the State. Contact persons will not have the right to refuse an examination to establish the carrier of a contagious disease.
The current legal provision also stipulates that patients infected with COVID-19 and other dangerous diseases are subject to “mandatory isolation and / or hospital treatment.” With the changes, “hospital treatment” is abolished.

Now only the isolation remains, that is. hospital treatment is not mandatory, said BSP deputy Georgi Yordanov.
The changes also stipulate that during a declared state of emergency or state of emergency due to an epidemic, as well as up to three months after its expiration, the Minister of Health may prohibit the export of specific drugs.
