The death toll of Covid-19 in Bulgaria has reached 42 people.
The Chief of National Crisis Staff, Gen. Ventsislav Mutafchiisky, reported that the overall mortality rate for the country is being compared to the mortality rate from Covid-19 to determine whether there is any hidden mortality that is not included in the statistics.
The phased restoration of the operation of hospitals in Bulgaria begins. The counseling of pregnant women and young children as well as immunizations according to the national immunization calendar will resume next week.
