One in four Bulgarians has been diagnosed with coronavirus infection in the past 20 days, virologist Professor Radka Argirova said for BNT. Many people with symptoms of Covid-19 do not undergo testing, Professor Argirova pointed out. In her view, not all people should undergo PCR testing. Rapid antigen tests should be used instead, especially when patients are about to undergo a surgery.

Emergency medical aid teams are expected to begin making rapid tests when they visit patients. Coronaviruses come from different animals, not from laboratories, Professor Radka Argirova further said.
