Chief State Health Inspector Assoc. Prof. Angel Kunchev, a member of the National Operational Headquarters for combating Covid-19 has warned that easing of measures would inevitably affect morbidity levels. In an interview with BNR, he said he would recommend that the upcoming opening of nightclubs be postponed.

According to Kunchev, it was necessary to have a coordinating body in the fight against Covid-19, because the epidemic process continues and decisions must be made. According to the health expert, "Bulgaria is moving on the edge of the razor and it has been quite successful", while the high mortality is also caused by the poor health status of Bulgarians - heart attacks, strokes, obesity, etc. Speaking about vaccines, the epidemiologist commented that it was necessary to have a campaign with precise and clear messages in order to inform citizens about the benefits of vaccines.
