A new explosion of coronavirus in our country. The tests revealed 49 carriers in two workshops in Burgas. The RHI is taking urgent action. In September, the spread of the infection in our country fell to one of the lowest levels in the European Union, but now it is increasing again, Professor Todor Kantardzhiev told NOVA.
Prof. Kantardzhiev: In November, an increase in the number of infected is expected.
According to him, in Bulgaria measures are neglected and that is why the curve has risen again. The danger threshold, which must not be exceeded, is 25 patients per 100,000 over a period of 14 days, which means 1,500 infected per week.
If last week 10 people infected 7 more, this week – 10 people infected 11, according to Headquarters. A more serious increase in COVID-19 cases is expected in our country in November, when the first influenza viruses are forecast to appear.
Today, most of the newly infected in the country are from Burgas. The district governor called for stricter controls. Inspections to comply with the measures are started in all commercial sites, large companies, workshops and institutions. Intensified disinfection of bus stops, playgrounds, and crowds is close at hand.
WHO praises Bulgaria for tackling pandemic
A few days ago, the manager of the sewing workshop in Aytos and one of the workers gave positive samples. All staff of 80 people were tested and 24 were infected.
“It just came to our attention then. They have no complaints. Their families are also in quarantine. The workshop is closed,” Georgi Pazderov said.
There are 25 infected employees in another sewing workshop in the district, the one in Zajecar. For now, the village will not be quarantined, but there will be strict control over whether those infected and their contacts observe the quarantine. Emergency measures were taken from the Aytos hospital.
“The situation of the epidemic is complicated, we have several workshops with many infected people. Given this, we had to transform the internal room into a room for patients with COVID infection. The capacity is 25 beds, “explained Parush Parushev.
216 new cases of COVID-19, 163 people were cured
The mayor of Burgas asked private hospitals for help. “Maximum urgent signing of a contract with the Health Insurance Fund to take charge of these treatments, because at any time we expect a large number of patients to the city,” said Dimitar Nikolov.
The regional crisis headquarters will now make the final decision on whether to introduce stricter measures.
“The idea is not to close the state, but to close a school or company in a certain area. The solutions, when in place, are much better and much more effective than closing the entire country, “believes the director of the Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Todor Kantardzhiev.
The national headquarters recommends more extensive use of rapid antigen tests, especially in doctor’s offices, schools, and teams with many employees.
“A sample is taken from your nose and after 10 minutes it is clear if you have a coronavirus. With this rapid test, if you have a symptom or are in the stage one or two days before showing symptoms and actively spreading the virus, you can get it, “Professor Kantardzhiev added.
COVID-19 victims worldwide surpassed one million
With the climate cooling, the diagnosis with COVID-19 will become increasingly difficult, predicts Professor Kantardjiev.
“Last year, the flu decreased for two months and January was the first case. Now, however, I hope that November will see an increase in the incidence of the coronavirus and in parallel with other winter infections, the first and most dangerous, the respiratory virus , babies and the elderly, ”said the director of the NCIPD.
Wearing a mask indoors remained the most effective means of protection.
