The final decision to further tighten the measures in Sofia and the rest of the country will be announced at a regular briefing of the National Operational Headquarters on Thursday. The new measures will enter into force most likely on Saturday – for Sofia and for the country – on Monday, said at a briefing Chief State Health Inspector Assoc. Prof. Angel Kunchev after a meeting of the Sofia restrictive measures task force. In the capital in the last 24 hours alone 1,116 newly infected with COVID-19 were documented out of a total of 4,637 registered nationwide. I think time has come for a national decision. The main thing we are aiming at is to avoid the possibility of virus transmission. It is already clear to everyone that the new variant is more contagious for younger age groups. The order should come out in a few days, it should have a minimum application term of 2 weeks, Kunchev said.
