17 new cases have been confirmed on 16 April, 10 of them in the capital city. Sofia is the biggest coronavirus cluster in the country. 227 of the Covid-19 patients are in hospital, and 37 are in intensive care.

38 people with a confirmed coronavirus infection have died. 122 have recovered, or 15% of all people who have tested positive for coronavirus.

According to the mathematical model applied, the medical authorities register 2 in 11-7 cases, said the head of the National Crisis Staff General Mutafchiyski. The incidence among high-risk groups is below 1%. The admissible number of coronavirus cases in Bulgaria is up to 7,000, General Mutafchiyski said.
