188 newly diagnosed coronavirus patients after 3,467 tests

For the past 24 hours the new cases of coronavirus infection have been 188 after 3467 PCR tests performed, the Information Portal shows. The total number of infected people since the beginning of the pandemic has reached 6102. Out of these, 2,811 cases are still active. 

In the past 24 hours, 37 people have recovered. There are 483 patients in hospitals as 32 are in intensive care. 

4 people passed away during the past day. The total number of deaths has reached 254.

The lockdown of the Iztok neighborhood in Kyustendil, imposed because of the coronavirus, was lifted at midnight. I hope that in a week the number of infected people will start to decline, because people have already learned that they should protect themselves and their families, director of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases and a member of the Operational Staff, Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev said.
