About 80% of Bulgarians will have the coronavirus without symptoms, so the main tip of the Bulgarian app COVID-19 is “Stay Home”. This was explained in person by the head of the Pirogov cardiology department, Professor Maria Milanova, who was also a co-author of the request.

The doctor explained that people should be alert to symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath and fever. Gastrointestinal problems, conjunctivitis, general fatigue, loss of smell and taste, which are increasingly concomitant symptoms of coronavirus, are not excluded.
