The number of Covid-19 cases in Bulgaria has been decreasing since November 4. The fourth wave of Covid-19 has been subsiding. Coronavirus mortality has also dropped, but still remains high due to the poor health condition of Bulgarians and the problems in this country’s health system, Professor Mira Kozhuharova, advisor to Bulgaria’s caretaker Minister of Health Stoycho Katsarov, said for the BNR.

Covid-19 related deaths in Bulgaria are among the unvaccinated and among vulnerable groups, said Professor Kozhuharova. In her words, the green certificate has yielded two positive results- the number of people undergoing Covid-19 tests has increased. Thus, the new cases of Covid-19 are identified early. On the other hand, more people decided to receive Covid-19 vaccines. Vaccination rate in Bulgaria has reached 30%, Professor Kozhuharova added.
