“Around 1 million, 1.5 million Bulgarians have immunity and are protected against the coronavirus. Around 500,000 have been infected with Covid-19 and 450,000 because they have been vaccinated,” said Chief State Health Inspector Dr. Angel Kunchev. “These numbers are going to grow by 10-15,000 a day. By the end of April we shall have a free choice of vaccines,” Dr. Angel Kunchev said, as quoted by BGNES.

“That is still not enough to affect the overall epidemic process, but the numbers are sufficient to check the surge in the infection rate. This tendency has been visible as of last week. The country is approaching a plateau in this third wave, new restrictions will only be imposed if necessary,” Dr. Angel Kunchev said.
