Bulgaria reports downward trend in new COVID-19 cases: official
Sofia/Xinhua/UNI: Bulgarian authorities have registered a downward trend in new COVID-19 cases last week, the secretary of the national coronavirus task force Associate Prof. Dimo Dimov said in a statement on Monday.
As many as 284 new COVID-19 cases have been registered in the country from April 27 to May 3, while in the period from April 20 to April 26, the figure stood at 433, Dimov said.
However, the number of deaths was 15 and 11 respectively, Dimov said. "This correlates with the observed trend in the world, that when there is an increase in the morbidity rate, there are more deaths in the next seven to 15 days," he said.
A total of 1,632 COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in Bulgaria so far, of which 74 people have died, Dimov said.
In pursuing the concept of adapting societies to life with coronavirus, a number of countries have implemented an alleviation of restrictive measures from May 4 or May 11, he said. Over the next two weeks, statistics on morbidity and mortality would be particularly important as a tool to analyze the next steps, Dimov said.
