Urgent measures are also being taken to control the severe pressure on the system. Today is the last day that Sofia hospitals use 50% of their capacity for coronavirus patients.
The new order of the Regional Health Inspection forces medical institutions to increase COVID beds by another 20%, which is why the number of infected in the capital already reaches 500 per 100,000 inhabitants.
Health statistics show that the number of infected children has increased in the last two weeks.
A further tightening of the measures is also possible. In Sofia, for example, it would affect gyms and shopping centers.
