The idea is to reach a level of 70-75% vaccinated people in this country, but this would not be easy, Chief Health Inspector Assoc. Prof. Angel Kunchev has told BNT.

Lists are being prepared with medical specialists who want to be vaccinated against coronavirus. In some parts of the country interest among medics is small - up to 30%, and in others it is almost 100%, Kunchev said. He explained the difference by the fact that many people expect more data about the vaccine.

We have a 7.1% decline in new coronavirus cases. We can have some normal holidays with gatherings of up to 10-15 people. But if we gather in huge companies, we will see the results on January 7-8, Kunchev has warned.
