According to this indicator, Bulgaria ranks eleventh in the EU and fourth on the Balkan Peninsula. In the last two weeks, the death rate is 24 per 100 thousand people, and our country ranks second in both the EU and the Balkans. Compared to the previous period, the incidence in our country has decreased by nearly 100 per 100 thousand people.
For the last 14 days the highest – with over 600 per 100,000, is the incidence

The Ministry of Health also announced that 14,400 doses had arrived in Bulgaria today
from the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. The delivered quantities will not be distributed before a decision of the National Vaccination Headquarters and will remain in the warehouse of BulBio-NCIPD EOOD.
The next delivery of vaccines against COVID-19 is expected on Sunday, April 18, 2021, from the manufacturer Moderna – 38,400 doses.
“Bulgaria will receive over 750,000 additional doses of the Pfizer vaccine, thanks to European solidarity.”
This was stated today by the Prime Minister Boyko Borissov during the extraordinary government session, the press center of the cabinet announced. The resigned Prime Minister stressed that the additional quantities will arrive this month and next, so that the vaccination process in Bulgaria can be completed.
“I thank the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who works daily and with great effort for the entire European Union,” he said, stressing the key role the EC President has in providing vaccines to all European citizens. The additional over 750,000 Pfizer vaccines assigned to Bulgaria are from the new accelerated delivery of 50 million doses, which was announced yesterday by the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Layen. With this, the total number of Pfizer vaccines for the European Union for the second quarter of the year will reach 250 million.
Prime Minister Borissov was adamant that the additional amounts provided at EU level, which are distributed on a per capita basis to all member states, are an indisputable success in Europe’s joint action against the pandemic and further proof of community solidarity. Prime Minister Borissov also reminded that in the next two months Bulgaria will be able to count on the already agreed 2.7 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine, which guarantees that the immunization will be in full force.
