Prof. Ivailo Alexiev from the National Centre of Parasitic and Infectious Diseases said for bTV. "The suspicious samples are being tested additionally and we shall know whether we have Omicron within days. The tests are from people from different parts of Bulgaria and there is no data of their having travelled abroad".
