A poll by the Faculty of Philosophy at Sofia University shows that the state of emergency caused by the coronavirus crisis in Bulgaria is of the utmost concern to young people. The group of those under 29 has been experiencing the highest levels of sadness, anxiety, fear and panic. People over 49 have the lowest sense of threat from the situation. People with higher education experience greater discomfort because of restrictions on social life and those living in the countryside are more optimistic. According to psychologists, despite the extraordinary nature of the situation, participants in the study do not perceive it as extremely stressful.
