In Bulgaria, the percentage of people who reach a serious condition and need hospital treatment and intubation is lower than in the world as a whole. In Bulgaria it is about 8%, while in the world it is reported about 12-15%. This was said in an interview with the BNT by Prof. Radka Argirova, President of the Bulgarian Society of Virology.
