Prime Minister orders reception areas to be opened in front of all hospitals to speed up admissions of Covid-19 patients

"Every minister should be at the forefront in his/her area of responsibility and the government, together with the Bulgarian citizens, should act as a fist against the pandemic."

This was stated by Prime Minister Boyko Borissov during an online working meeting with members of the government. The Prime Minister ordered the joint actions of the state institutions to continue with the strictest organization, order and full mobilization.

"We are doing this at the moment - with finances, with the economy, with measures. No hesitation," the PM said.

The Prime Minister Borissov ordered the Minister of Health to organise the establishment of reception areas in front of every hospital in the country, both public and private, in which arriving patients can be quickly diagnosed and directed to the necessary medical care.

"You can use everything - firefighters, police, clothing. Finance Minister Ananiev has provided absolutely everything that is needed financially. Medicines - all kinds for all patients. All this must be done immediately," Borissov was adamant.

The Prime Minister also added that it is important for Bulgarian citizens to be informed that if they have been in contact with persons with COVID-19, they should isolate themselves immediately.

The Prime Minister Boyko Borissov reminded that institutions such as the National Social Security Institute and the Ministry of Health have hotel facilities and recreation facilities around the country, which can also be used for accommodation. In this way, the pressure on hospitals can be further reduced where possible. According to the Prime Minister, it is extremely important to have flexibility and to continue carrying out the necessary operations.

"Life must go on," Borissov said, adding, "I am convinced that there will be vaccines in March-April, we will have something that will save the world and we will move forward."

According to Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, it is also important that court proceedings do not stop and that institutions operate online where possible.

"The state should not be closed. In many countries this is an easy approach - lockdown, closures, the easiest, the cleanest. We should convince people by using common sense," said the Prime Minister.

"People need to understand that they made the right decision and that we did not resign was only for their own good. To struggle in the most difficult times, but to save them and take them out of both health and financial, and from the economic crisis", Prime Minister Borissov said.

According to him, the socio-economic measures should continue and there should be revenues in the budget.

"Bulgaria with IT technologies, with everything that is done in the IT sector, in the economy, we will come through this faster than elsewhere. But protect the people - that's what I want from you," the Prime Minister addressed the members of the government.

Borissov also pointed out that in this difficult period, the interaction with the local authorities is of great importance.

"Help the mayors with everything tyou can," Borissov told the ministers, adding: "Everything should work, but people should be careful, should wear masks, keep physical distance, so that life does not stop," he said.
