So far, a total of 6,684 people were cured. The Covid-19 death toll has reached 404 persons.
There is currently a controlled problem with coronavirus infection in two nursery homes for senior citizens - in Ruse and Varna. 91 positive tests were confirmed in the Vazrazhdane nursery home in Ruse. 8 are of staff members and 83 elderly people accomodated in the home, of whom 26 are hospitalized and three have died.
