Prof. Angel Kunchev at an extraordinary briefing today. 9 of those infected are men, 3 are women, 7 are without vaccination, 5 of them are fully vaccinated. Only one of the infected persons has travelled abroad. Those infected with Omicron have a mild course of the disease, they are at home treatment and do not require hospitalization.
"From now on, we expect the coronavirus to spread faster and the Omicron variant to become dominant in the country, which we are already seeing in many European countries, as Omicron's main feature is that it affects more people in a short time," Kunchev said.
