“Finally, we have a common action plan from the European Commission, this time they have worked hard,” Borissov said of the pan-European measures discussed against the Covid-19 pandemic. “I think we were late, we should have made it in July.” Many EU countries are taking measures that scare others countries and create disparities in action “he commented.
According to “We are damaging people’s mental health”, aimed at measures against the spread of the disease in the EU.
He said that in Bulgaria the requirements set by the Ministry of Health must be met and then no further measures will be necessary. He is convinced that since June, our country has been demonstrating the most correct approach – with the supply of medicines, with the provision of hospitals and the preparation of extra beds, with the introduction of codes for individual cities and recommendations so that citizens do not travel to dangerous areas. His statement comes in the middle of a full week of record 800-900 new coronavirus cases.

For the rest, Borissov welcomed the speed with which the European Commission is acting on the issue of vaccines. “It’s important to be very transparent and affordable. Unfortunately, one by one, companies are stopping vaccine testing because the virus is mutating so much. We have to completely trust the teachers and not experiment too much on health issues. Notably, there are 11 patients in China. I don’t want to offend anyone, but it bothers me a lot“said the Prime Minister.

In Bulgaria, at the moment there are enough beds and enough medical equipment, necessary and sufficient to the treatment of all Bulgarian citizens in all districts and all medical institutions in the country. I cannot agree that the government and personally the Ministry of Health do not take adequate and timely measures. On the contrary. Bulgaria is in one of last places in terms of morbidity in the European Union “., he said.
