Urgent measures are also being taken to control the serious pressure on the system. Today is the last day that hospitals in Sofia use 50% of their capacity for patients with coronavirus.
The new order of the Regional Health Inspectorate obliges medical institutions to increase COVID beds by another 20%. The reason – the number of infected in the capital has already reached 500 per 100 thousand population.
Health statistics show that the number of infected children has increased in the last two weeks.
A new tightening of measures is also possible. In Sofia, for example, it would affect gyms and malls.
