WikiProject COVID-19

I've created WikiProject COVID-19 as a temporary or permanent WikiProject and invite editors to use this space for discussing ways to improve coverage of the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. Please bring your ideas to the project/talk page. Stay safe, --Another Believer _(Talk) 17:37, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline format

The day-by-day subsections can expand indefinitely, I'd rather suggest we have a timeline of the first few days (until the declaration of state of emergency), and from then on have a single body of text with updates. Suggestions? - ☣Tourbillon ^A ? 08:16, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Latest figures on testing

As of March 30 Bulgaria has a test capacity of 1200 a day (according to the 8am press-conference of the Crisis-management Staff). ^[1]

I no longer have rights to edit the page (semi-protected) but it would be nice to include updated info on testing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxim.harizanov (talk • contribs) 00:02, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you can provide a direct mention of this in a source I will be glad to add it. The video from the report above mentions the 1,000 quick tests to be distributed among police personnel as a form of quick screening, but I could not find anything on increased testing capacity in the five laboratories across Bulgaria. As a side-note, the quick screening is notable enough on its own, and I'm sure it will appear after the results are released. Skycycle (talk) 20:12, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Found another source that covers the three types of tests the authorities are considering^[2]. It also mentions the current PCR testing capacity and its estimated cost. Maxim.harizanov (talk) 23:48, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the relevant info and the source you shared, apologies for the slight delay :) Skycycle (talk) 22:17, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Then umber of tests ~15000 is not correct as it includes fast tests, while this particular statistic is carried with CPR tests only. Please extract the correct number of CPR tests performed and do something else with the fast tests, if you like. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.238.202.210 (talk) 15:23, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Колоната Tested трябва да е Tests, тъй като никъде не се предоставя информация за това, на колко хора са направени тестове, а вместо това се изнася общият брой направени тестове, които може да са по повече от един на човек. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.238.202.210 (talk) 15:06, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please update data after 27 Aug in the table with day-by-day cases by province — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.78.9.61 (talk) 21:54, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Percentage of new cases from all tested

Results are wrong. Please use accurate format for percentage — Preceding unsigned comment added by Viktorov (talk • contribs) 15:30, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the number of vaccinations per day

According to this source (https://btvnovinite.bg/bulgaria/parvata-faza-na-imunizacijata-sreshtu-koronavirusa-veche-obhvana-cjalata-strana-obzor.html), which appears reliable, almost 3800 people had been vaccinated by the evening of 29 December, so it looks to me like the number for December 29th should be higher than 1298. My bad - it seems correct, I realized that I messed up the figures, please ignore the previous sentence.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.100.143.101 (talk) 20:43, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
