Bulgaria launches electronic register for vaccinations against Covid-19
The electronic register of citizens wishing to be vaccinated against Covid-19 will start operation today at 5 pm, but the first time slot that can be booked for vaccination is for March 11. This became clear during the presentation of the platform today. 
Bulgaria's Minister of Health Kostadin Angelov, who attended the presentation, announced that in this way it would be much easier to organize the logistics in the vaccination centres and avoid crowding of people. 
So far, there have been no unused doses of the delivered vaccines, unlike in other countries, Angelov added, as quoted by BNR.

Bulgaria is now seeing the third wave of Covid-19
We are now witnessing the third wave of Covid-19 in Bulgaria. As a result, the coronavirus morbidity and occupancy of hospital beds have increased slightly, this country’s Minister of Health Professor Kostadin Angelov said at the regular weekly briefing on the spread of Covid-19 in Bulgaria. 
However, Minister Angelov highlighted a positive fact - the morbidity/recovery ratio has decreased to 2:1 in the past week, whereas last week, the number of new coronavirus infections was three times higher than the number of Covid-19 recoveries.
The increase in the number of Covid-19 cases is due to the quick spread of the British coronavirus variant, Minister Angelov went on to say. Currently, there are 285 new cases of Covid-19 per 100,000 people, but the gap between different Bulgarian districts is huge.

Bulgaria ranks 18th in the EU in terms of coronavirus morbidity. So far, almost 250,000 vaccines have been administered in Bulgaria. 41,000 people have received their second dose of Covid-19 vaccine. The number of Covid-19 hospitalizations exceeds 5,000.
