Speaking at the daily briefing in the morning on April 4, the head of the national task force, Prof. Dr. Ventsislav Mutafchiyski said: We urge all Bulgarian citizens not to accept Easter and Palm Sunday as holidays. It's not a holiday time! Don't make bookings in hotels, don't go to church, because that's where you may get infected! Stay home. There is no need to go anywhere, and it is not allowed, he added.

Out of the 21 new cases registered earlier during the day, 17 were admitted to intensive care in hospitals in Sofia.

34 people have recovered.

One of the cases confirmed in the past day is a one year old baby in Dobrich, who has laryngitis. The condition of the 4-year-old child from Veliko Turnovo, who is hospitalized in Sofia, is stable.

There is an interesting case in Bourgas with a 34 year-old man from Nessebar, who returned from Bansko ski resort on April 1st.

Regarding the MRF MP Hassan Ademov, who tested positive for the virus, the task force said that he most likely contracted the virus while making a donation in one of the areas affected by the disease.

Another MP infected with the coronavirus, Dr. Daniela Daritkova of GERB, examined one of the first coronavirus patients registered in Smolyan. Most likely this is how she contracted it, despite all the precautionary measures, explained Prof. Dr. Mutafchiyski and emphasised that the medical professionals are exposed at a high risk.
