The Regional Headquarters against influenza in Burgas decided not to extend the anti-epidemic measures, which expire on January 30th. The reason is a significant decrease in morbidity.

The data shows 220 patients per 10,000 people, compared to 322 before. The pressure on hospitals has decreased by 30%, despite the filled infectious diseases department of the state hospital, where additional beds have been opened.
