The order by Health Minister Stoycho Katsarov comes into effect today, by force of which a green certificate will be issued for antibody levels of the IGg type for SARS-CoV-2 of over 150 Bau/ml.  This type of certificate will only be valid on the territory of Bulgaria, and only for a period of 90 days.

From the early morning, long lines of people wishing to check whether they have antobody levels sufficient for obtaining a green certificate formed in front of the laboratories. More than 4,200 certificates for the presence of antibodies have so far been issued in Sofia.

According to one of the leading laboratories in the country, only 30% percent of the people they have tested meet the antibody level criteria set down by the Ministry of Health, BNR’s Anelia Dzhambazka reports.
