The rising number of infected people is not a reason to expect cataclysms, because fewer and fewer people need hospital treatment now and doctors are better prepared and can cope with the consequences of Covid-19, says head of "Alexandrovska Hospital" Kostadin Angelov.

At the beginning of the epidemic in Bulgaria, the virus was aggressive and therefore many of those infected had to be hospitalized, with 10 percent reaching intensive care, while now its virulence is declining and this is somehow reassuring. According to Prof. Angelov, the higher number of infected people is the second wave of coronavirus in this country and added that it was caused by the lack of discipline in many people.
