The coronavirus has reduced its infectivity. There are more and more positive cases without severe symptoms shown, Chief State Health Inspector Assoc. Prof. Angel Kunchev said in an interview with BNR, speaking about the record number of coronavirus cases registered in the past 24 hours - 104.

He pointed out that the number of newly infected people would influence decisions for introducing stricter restrictions. According to him, everything possible was being done so that no extreme measures were taken. Currently, efforts are focused on 5 or 6 active outbreaks in the country. 

Assoc. Prof. Kunchev added that despite information from yesterday, for the time being a complete restriction of traffic will not be introduced in the village of Izgrev near Shumen, where an increase in number of coronavirus cases was marked. It is important to follow the basic rules - disinfection and social distancing.
