According to the health minister's order, they will operate until the end of July and include free diagnostics of people who have clinical symptoms of the disease, with PCR tests in Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Pleven and Stara Zagora. According to data from the Ministry of Health, as of May 5, there were 793 people with whooping cough.
