“Against the background of the growing number of fatalities I very much doubt that the number of infections is not going up as well,” said epidemiologist and lecturer at Oxford Petar Markov for the BNR. In his words many coronavirus cases probably go undetected.
“The best indicator of this is the number of fatalities,” he said. In his words the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control put Bulgaria among the top 5 high-concern countries precisely because of the constant increase in the number of deaths.
Petar Markov stated that the mortality rate is lower in Western Europe because of better treatment for the people in serious condition, and because of the younger profile of the people who have contracted Covid-19, whereas in this country it is mostly older people who get infected.
