More than 300,000 people in Bulgaria have already encountered the coronavirus. To reach a level where we can expect this epidemic to fade away, people who had been infected with the virus must be over 70 percent of the country's population, which makes about four million people. This opinion was expressed by Assoc. Prof. Atanas Mangurov, Head of the Children's Clinic at the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Sofia in an interview with BNR.
"In over 90 percent of cases, infected people will carry the disease asymptomatically. Very few of them will get truly sick," Assoc. Prof. Mangurov commented.
According to him, there might be a second peak in the spread of the coronavirus in Bulgaria after loosening the current isolation measures.
