There has been an increase in Covid-19 cases over the past 2-3 weeks. This trend is observed not only in Bulgaria but also across Europe, Chief State Health Inspector Assocсiate Professor Angel Kunchev said for bTV. 200-250 cases are reported on a weekly basis, though the actual number is 5-6 times higher. Kunchev ruled out the possibility that Covid-19 was brought in from Greece. ''The neighboring country conducts more tests, leading to a higher number of reported cases and giving the impression of a higher incidence. People do not visit doctors or get tested, because the infection is milder'', noted Angel Kunchev. Assocсiate Professor Angel Kunchev said that Bulgaria is far from the levels seen during the pandemic and that Covid-19 is now one of many respiratory viruses.
