The death toll of Covid-19 in Bulgaria has reached 42 people.
The Chief of National Crisis Staff, Gen. Ventsislav Mutafchiisky, reported that the overall mortality rate for the country is being compared to the mortality rate from Covid-19 to determine whether there is any hidden mortality that is not included in the statistics.
