I do not think that the virus was at the door and just went away, but rather there was a false impression in our society that this virus could disappear - viruses never do this, virologist Prof. Mira Kozhuharova has told the BNR.

According to her, currently there was a smoothly developing epidemic, which was the main goal of the measures - to slow down the epidemic process. There has been no real peak of the virus spread in Bulgaria. She gave an example of a peak that occured in the fifth week of the year, when there were 9,231 flu patients in this country. The situation was accepted without panic and reasonable people still followed similar anti-epidemic measures as the current ones, Kozhuharova said.
