The peak of the next wave of Covid-19 will come before the elections on April 4 and everything will depend on the spread of the new variants, the state health inspector Assoc. Prof. Angel Kunchev told BNR.

He added that 68 positive samples of the British strain have been found in recent days. According to him, more and more young people are getting sick from this type of coronavirus, which is transmitted faster and "there is no change in the direction of a more severe course."

The number of hospitalized patients has increased to 3,000, and in intensive care units to more than 300, said the health inspector.

Kunchev also announced that the supply of vaccines would be accelerated in February, but predicted that there would not be enough people willing to be vaccinated.
