No lockdown needed in Bulgaria to contain new wave of pandemic - IMF
- Country:
- Bulgaria
Bulgaria will not need to impose a full lockdown to contain the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic if it follows protective measures like mask-wearing and social distancing, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said.
"Bulgaria risks, like every other country, a shock from a second wave," Georgieva told a videoconference press briefing for Bulgarian media on Sunday.
"It does not mean a full lockdown when you follow protective measures, like wearing masks, social distancing and testing is followed. This is what we should do now in the face of a second wave."
