We are monitoring a fatigue in the epidemic, Assoc. Prof. Georgi Popov, head of the Infectious Diseases Clinic at the Military Medical Academy in Sofia and a member of the National Operational Headquarters told the Bulgarian National Radio. There are isolated cases - one day more numerous, another day less numerous, but "we are steadily going to the epidemic tail," said the expert. 

Bulgaria's healthcare system managed to cope thanks to the fact that the blow was not as strong as in Italy and we already had the experience of Europe and China, said Popov. 
A group of Bulgarian doctors visited the research center at the University Hospital in Pavia, Italy. They learned from their Italian colleagues that the built-in immunity in the survivors of the infection disappears after about 3 months, Popov said.
