Nikolay Kostov, the head of the pharmacy union, said that in the last six days, all the pharmacies in Bulgaria have sold more iodine than the year’s consumption. We have placed new orders but are afraid they may not last long. Dr. Miroslava Stankova, representative of Dr. Max Pharmacies in the Czech Republic, told that this is madness. People are buying and stocking iodine like crazy.
