Bulgarian society has reached the plateau of anxiety, Parvan Simeonov, executive director of Gallup International, told the Bulgarian National Radio. According to the research conducted, anxiety has stopped growing in recent weeks in the country. 

'I hope we did not calm down prematurely, because it also means premature reduction of mobilization and, accordingly, a problem with the spread of the infection", the expert said.
Simeonov commented that the more successful the measures, the more unnecessary they seem to people. Bulgarians are beginning to show a civil reflex as well, evident from the decline in the willingness to sacrifice civil rights in the fight against Covid-19, he believes.
