At this stage, there is no reason to tighten anti-coronavirus measures in this country. The strain continues to spread in clusters, not diffusely, Deputy Minister of Health Dr. Boyko Penkov has told BNT. So far, the health-care system is not overloaded. There are 8,400 beds for patients with Covid-19 in the country. Just over 1,200 of them are taken.

The high number of infected and deceased people from Tuesday, October 13, is due to a delay in reporting the results from two days, Penkov explained. The fact that coronavirus spreads on a cluster basis - certain companies, medical institutions, homes for social services, is what caused the big number, Dr. Penkov said.
