“For a long time we can endure 500 new infections a day. We still have a large reserve, but that does not mean that there are no areas in critical condition. Now 14-15% of the hospital beds planned for the coronavirus are occupied. people from the highest risk group. ”This was stated in the NOVA study by the Chief of State Health Inspectors, Prof. Angel Kunchev.
There were three scenarios to limit the elderly:
“The gentlest option for older people would be to introduce hours when they can go out. The second would be for them to do so only at a certain distance from their home. The third, which is unlikely, is their complete isolation.” added.
Kunchev added that all measures to prevent infection in our country are on the table and are being discussed. It was clear that if other countries introduced strict measures, this could also happen in Bulgaria.
“For any disease like COVID-19, stricter measures are required from the start. I think imposing new restrictions is not as important as complying with existing ones,” he said.
Third consecutive day with a record of infected in our country
Kunchev added that increased morbidity is common across Europe and does not occur only in our country. He added that around 20% of positives in Bulgaria need medical attention and around 5% intensive care.
Once again, the health reviewer stressed that the most important thing is the personal self-awareness of each one of us. “If we don’t take care of ourselves and make no efforts to protect ourselves, no measures will help us,” he said.
Associate Professor Angel Kunchev explained that the infection occurs two days before the onset of symptoms and five days after. To become infected, there had to be an accumulation of a certain amount of virus.
It also revealed details about the novelties of the combined tests, which will be faster and cheaper, around BGN 20-25. With them it will be possible to determine in 20 minutes if you are sick with the flu or COVID-19. This test cannot be performed in a laboratory, but rather in a personal physician’s office.
Kunchev explained that we will receive 2,500 vials of Remdesivir across the EU, and about 3,000 vials have already been distributed and all hospitals have them. “One vial of Remdesivir costs BGN 700 and 5-10 vials are used to treat one patient,” Kunchev explained.
