– Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov has tested positive for the H1N1 virus, which has killed at least 1,084 people in the country over the past three weeks, Reuters reports. Borissov and three Cabinet ministers had to quarantine themselves Friday after a deputy minister tested positive for the virus. Health authorities lifted Borissov’s quarantine late Saturday after two negative results from coronavirus tests, but he tested positive on Sunday. “Although my quarantine was lifted, since Friday I have postponed all my meetings and planned public appearances for the coming days,” Borissov said in a posting on his official Facebook account. “I have a general malaise. For the moment, on the doctors’ discretion, I remain on home treatment.”
