December 10 (BTA) - Bulgaria is second in the EU for COVID-19 mortality, it transpired at the weekly briefing of the national coronavirus task force here on Thursday. National Centre of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Director and task force member Todor Kantardjiev said that Bulgaria s 14-day morbidity rate of 554 people per 100,000 population places the country ninth in the EU/EEA and third in the Balkans. Health Minister Kostadin Angelov said that a decision on whether to reopen kindergartens next week will be taken after the data from the remaining days of this week are examined. The data available thus far do not support the adoption of such a decision, he added.
