The weekly data of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases show an increase in the cases of COVID-19 in three districts in the country. The regions of Kyustendil and Sliven marked a slight increase in the number of newly registered, respectively from 30 to 35 new infected per 100 thousand population for a period of 14 days and from 22 to 24 new infected per 100 thousand population for two weeks.
The increase of the registered infected in Vidin district is more significant: from 34 new infected per 100 thousand population last week to 51 new infected according to the data as of June 20. They are published by the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases once a week.
However, the picture of the epidemic in the country remains calm, but the growth of new infections has not been observed for weeks. The reported growth in three areas coincides with the announcement from the end of last week for registration of the Indian variant of the coronavirus in Bulgaria, as the genetically tested sample was taken in early May in Pleven. However, the area is not among those where the data show an increase in cases.
A positive trend is the increase of the districts in the so-called green zone, where the registered new cases of COVID-19 for a period of two weeks per 100 thousand population are below 20. Seven days ago morbidity assigned three areas in the green zone, and in the current areas with the weakest. Coronavirus prevalence has almost doubled and is now eleven.
The new districts in the green zone are Haskovo (14 new infected per 100 thousand population), Lovech (15 new infected per 100 thousand population), Veliko Tarnovo (16), Pazardzhik (19 new infected per 100 thousand population), Varna 20).
