Bulgaria reports 466 new daily infections
During the last 24 hours, 466 cases of coronavirus have been identified from the 7,503 tests performed, according to data from the Unified Coronavirus Information Portal. 6% of the samples gave a positive result.  Most new infections were registered in Sofia - 73, Plovdiv - 53, Varna - 50 and Burgas 54. 
The active cases are 44,874. There are currently 5,882 patients in hospital as 566 of them in intensive care units.  Sixteen people died and 315 were cured. 
Nine medics were diagnosed with Covid-19 with a total of 13,251 infections among medical staff since the beginning of the epidemic. 
Yesterday, 10,048 coronavirus vaccines were administered, bringing the total to 932,419.

Green corridors for coronavirus vaccination continue operation in 16 regions of Bulgaria
Free immunization against Covid-19 continued today. 26 vaccination points operated in 16 district cities. In Sofia, people were admitted to the Military Medical Academy, Pirogov Hospital, Alexandrovska Hospital and the Medical Institute of the Ministry of Interior. 
The goal of the health authorities is to immunize more than 20,000 people daily.

Bulgaria should be among the first to introduce a green certificate
Bulgaria should be among the first to introduce a green EU vaccination certificate, so that tourists could come to Bulgaria in safer and more controlled conditions, and Bulgarians could travel abroad. This was stated to BNR by Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev, director of the National Centre for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases. According to him, these certificates will probably become a reality in early June. 
Todor Kantardzhiev also said that according to research, the cellular immune response after the vaccination against Covid-19 has a protective effect for more than a year. He was adamant that there are currently enough vaccines in the country.
