Mathematician of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Prof. Nikolay Vitanov, who monitors the parameters of the coronavirus pandemic in this country, announced that this week the number of Covid patients in hospital would start to decline. The death rate will also drop next week. We are coming out of the peak of this wave of the pandemic, Vitanov told "Bulgaria on Air" TV.

The Ministry of Health has reported that it wants to buy the drug Paxlovid. It is used to treat elderly people from coronavirus who are at increased risk of having severe symptoms. It will be prescribed for treatment of mild to moderate cases. US President Joe Biden also underwent treatment with Paxlovid.
