The incidence of Covid-19 in Bulgaria on a 14-day basis to date is 518 per 100 thousand people, which ranks the country 16th in the European Union, while in countries such as the Czech Republic this figure is 1200 per 100,000. In Luxembourg the number is 1,300 per 100,000. This is shown by data presented by the Minister of Health Kostadin Angelov at today's cabinet meeting, quoted by BNR reporters.

We recall that exactly a month ago Bulgaria ranked 24th in the EU with 43 per 100,000.
