Chief State Health Inspector Angel Kunchev told journalists here later on Wednesday that one in three newly registered COVID-19 cases in Bulgaria is of the delta variant. It's obvious that the decline in newly reported cases has stopped, he said, adding that the situation will remain calm until the end of July, after which new infections will increase in frequency, as is the case in other countries. Morbidity in different European countries is within a very large range. This difference between Bulgaria and the UK is currently 108 times, Kunchev said. RI/ZH, MY
