If no serious anti-epidemic measures were taken, the whole country would enter the dark red zone of distribution of Covid-19 by November, mathematician Lachezar Tomov has told Nova TV. According to him, the healthcare system would not withstand the pressure again. "Few tests are performed in our country and the hidden morbidity is huge," he said.

According to him, after the opening of the schools there was a sharp jump in the number of infected children. "In many of the schools the measures are not observed; teachers do not want to be vaccinated and they do not wear masks in class," he added. Lachezar Tomov also said that more than 20,000 people have officially died of coronavirus, but in reality their number was double that.
