We have 90 teachers infected with Covid-19 out of 90,000. The number of quarantined students is 0.5% as they have interacted with other infected people in school or outside it, said Bulgaria's Minister of Education Krasimir Valchev, BTA reports.

For some of the students and teachers who were quarantined at the beginning of the school year, the 14-day quarantine period has already expired. We can say that the share of students who are infected is two 2.5 times lower than the total number of infected people. This is normal. Students get sick less, obviously they also get infected less often. The percentage of infections among teachers is slightly higher, Valchev explained.
