Bulgaria's daily COVID-19 deaths rise to record high
SOFIA (Reuters) – Bulgaria reported a record number of daily coronavirus deaths on Tuesday as the European Union’s least vaccinated country grapples with a fourth wave of the pandemic, official data showed on Tuesday.
New infections were 5,286, down from a peak in late October, while 334 people died of the virus, the highest daily death toll since the start of the pandemic.
Over 8,500 people were in hospital, including 734 in intensive care units, the data showed.
