Bulgarian scholars will start work in reading the ribonucleic acid (RNA) of the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19, announced Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev, director of the National Centre for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases. He explained that reading the virus's RNA would shed light on hypotheses about how severe the disease went in persons infected with the different strains of the virus.

The different course of the disease, the different possibility of infection, are very important for the measures taken in different countries. This will also explain the low number of Covid-19 infections and fatalities in Bulgaria, Kantardzhiev expects.

Bulgarian biologists will study 48 strains from 48 patients.
