The more people are tested for Covid-19, the more positive results are obtained. However, the average number of infected persons fluctuates around 3%. We can not speak of an increase of coronavirus infections, but rather of an increase in the number of registered cases, Dr. Stoycho Katsarov, Chairman of the Center for Protection of Rights in Healthcare told the Bulgarian National Radio. Medics run highest risk of catching the virus, because they are at the frontline in the battle against Covid-19. That is why, the number of infected medics rose to 367 people. We had to make efforts to protect the Bulgarian medics from the very beginning, because this is a double loss- once you lose a medic and secondly, you add another patient infected with Covid-19 to the list of the people diagnosed with the virus, Dr. Stoycho Katsarov specified.
