Less than 50% of the medical staff have been vaccinated, one of the reasons being that many of them have contracted and recovered from the virus.

Minister Katsarov added that on 24 July the Ministry of Health will present an overall analysis of the number of coronavirus recoveries in the country since the start of the pandemic, and that these will be most complete statistics to date.
