Zusammenfassung:The COVID-19 pandemic that began in early 2020 is associated with high global morbidity and mortality and represents a considerable burden on the national health systems, the economy, and society as a whole. This article presents the main epidemiological indicators characterizing the spread of COVID-19 in the Sofia City region: incidence, mortality, and case fatality rate. The age and monthly distribution of incidence and mortality, COVID-19-related admissions to healthcare facilities, and COVID-19 cases among healthcare professionals are described. The activities of Sofia City Regional Health Inspectorate, which was at the front line in efforts to limit the spread of the pandemic coronavirus, are reviewed.
