There are 11 active districts in the country. Targovishte entered the list of Bulgarian districts with confirmed cases of Covid-19. 1 recovered patient in Kardzhali district tested positive again. Similar cases are registered in many other countries as well. According to experts from the World Health Organization, in these cases we are not talking about re-infection, but people test positive again, because the coronavirus migrates to the lower respiratory tract, Associate Professor Dimov explained.

5 medics, including 4 doctors and a nurse, tested positive for Covid-19 in the past 24 hours. The total number of medics diagnosed with the novel coronavirus reached 206. The Covid-19 death toll in Bulgaria reached 88 people.
