Their number is three times lower as compared to November last year, when 1,600 teachers had Covid-19. 90% of the teachers who voiced willingness to receive a vaccine were already inoculated against the novel coronavirus. Some of them have even received their second vaccine dose. 367 pupils have Covid-19. A total of 5,000 children are placed under quarantine, announced this country’s Minister of Education and Science Krasimir Valchev.
