Wearing of masks became mandatory in Bulgaria with the introduction of the new anti-epidemic measures on August 4, 2022. They were supposed to be in effect until August 18 but were extended for 7 days.

After seeing the data, the "Vazrazhdane" (Revival) political party said: "you should still organize a communication campaign for the vaccines against COVID-19", said Prof. Radka Argirova, virologist and adviser to the Prime Minister on the pandemic.

The green certificate for Bulgaria will be needed for another month. This was stated on Nova TV by Professor Radka Argirova, adviser to the Prime Minister on the pandemic of COVID-19.

What do we know about the new SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant identified by the WHO as "alarming"? The answers are given by the President of the Bulgarian Society of Medical Virology and a member of the Expert Council of Virology under the Minister of Health - Prof. Dr. Radka Argirova, MD.

Why does the coronavirus mutate?

The new strain of COVID-19 - Omicron, spreads about 3 times faster than the previous ones. This is shown by the latest data received from South Africa tonight, said in the program "Wake up" Prof. Radka Argirova, a member of the expert council of the Minister of Health. According to her, mostly young people and unvaccinated people are affected.

Yesterday's issued green certificates can also be given to people who have not been vaccinated, but after testing show that they have antibodies, for example after a disease that may be asymptomatic.

The certificate will be issued by the National Health Information System, as after vaccination, but will be valid only in Bulgaria.

From tomorrow - November 11, we will be able to issue a green certificate for people with proven antibodies to coronavirus. What are the criteria for the document - the topic in "The day begins" commented Prof. Radka Argirova, immunologist.

She explained that there are three main groups of people who will be subject to a green certificate based on antibodies.

From Thursday, November 11, green certificates obtained after antibody testing will be introduced. This was announced at a briefing today by the Minister of Health Stoycho Katsarov.

The certificate will be for people who have had Covid asymptomatically, or for those who have tested themselves with a test from the pharmacy.

One woman was vaccinated and died two days later. It's not Covid's problem, it's the vaccines. This is what a Bulgarian teacher told her students in class. And since children generally accept uncritically everything they hear from their teachers, it is quite understandable for a child to worry that his parents will die because they have been vaccinated.

On the first day of entry into force the requirement to access a number of sites only with the so-called "green certificate", there are already changes.
