Mortality depends on the number of patients and in Bulgaria it is 1%, said in an interview with Nova TV the Chief State Health Inspector Assoc. Prof. Dr. Angel Kunchev. According to him, Bulgaria's health system was doing well, but if many cases were concentrated in one place, it would become difficult.

Even if the positive tests reach 1,000 people a day, there is room to accommodate them, but the problem is that there is no one to treat so many people who are ill. According to Dr. Kunchev, there are about 140 specialists in infectious diseases in Bulgaria and in addition, intensive care beds in hospitals are limited and are not used only for coronavirus.

"They must continue to work for accident victims and other patients in urgent need of resuscitation," the health inspector added.
