Prime Minister Boyko Borissov said that the new record number of people infected with Covid-19 for the past 24 hours in Bulgaria was due to the number of test conducted.

"If we test 500 people, there will be 20 infected; if we examine 2500, we will have 100," the Prime Minister said. He added that people need to get used to the idea that there was coronavirus and apply measures to fight the spread. "We will not close more, we are prepared," Borissov said.

"Radio Bulgaria" recalls that on March 13, when a state of emergency was declared in the country, 16 new cases of Covid-19 were detected after 189 tested samples, while for the past 24 hours, 105 positive cases were registered after 2642 samples.
