Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov said on Sunday he had tested positive for coronavirus after taking two tests.

In a posting on his official Facebook account, Borissov said he would stay at home for treatment as recommended by his doctors.

Borissov and three cabinet ministers had self-isolated on Friday following contact with a person who had tested positive for COVID-19. Health authorities had lifted Borissov's quarantine late on Saturday.
