Mortality among patients with Covid-19 in Bulgarian hospitals has been 11.47% for the first 6 months of the pandemic, according to the analysis in the "Hospital Index" under a project of the Gallup agency, BTA reported. The patients were treated in 102 medical institutions. Most of them are treated in large state and district hospitals.

There is no complete correlation of the death rate from the infection in hospitals for the past period with other countries. But similar data for Germany published in the medical journal "Lancet" in July showed that the mortality rate in 920 hospitals in Germany was 22 percent. And according to the official pandemic monitoring system in the United Kingdom, hospital mortality in England was around 24%.
