Nearly 4% of Bulgaria’s population, or approximately 280,000 people have already met with the novel coronavirus, the head of the Pediatric Clinic at the Hospital of Infectious Diseases in Sofia Associate Professor Atanas Mangarov said. According to the expert, there won’t be a second or a third wave of Covid-19.
