The National Coronavirus Headquarters discussed today the readiness of Bulgarian hospitals with intensive care units to increase their capacity if necessary, the government’s press service announced. Against the backdrop of growing cases of Covid-19, the health specialists forecast that this country’s healthcare system will experience great difficulties, if 100 patients are admitted for hospital treatment on a daily basis.
