In Bulgaria, the percentage of people who reach a serious condition and need hospital treatment and intubation is lower than in the world as a whole. In Bulgaria it is about 8%, while in the world it is reported about 12-15%. This was said in an interview with the BNT by Prof. Radka Argirova, President of the Bulgarian Society of Virology. 
According to her, the increase in the number of newly diagnosed cases means there are people with mild symptoms or none, but who are the source of the virus and they are spreading it. She urged people who have the slightest complaint to contact medical authorities and get tested.
