“If we look at things in the areas, we will see that we are beginning to feel difficulties. They are due to several basic things. The first: Bulgarians are reasonable people, but not all of us follow the measures as prescribed. Our measures are light enough. The most important “One of them wears masks. As we observe the lack of discipline and non-compliance with these measures, we will increase the control, “Angelov said.
The control will be carried out daily, even at night, by all institutions, in places where there is a concentration of people. These include shopping malls, night clubs, restaurants. The RHI will issue a prescription first, if it is not fulfilled the establishment will close.
“Laws are for everyone, where they are not followed, there will be sanctions,” said Professor Angelov.

In two districts, Blagoevgrad and Targovishte, there is a morbidity of more than 120 people per 100,000. The Minister of Health urged not to travel to these districts, unless absolutely necessary.
“In terms of measures. A few days ago we said that the measures would be regional and specific. The regional headquarters in Targovishte ordered much stricter measures than at the national level. I hope that Blagoevgrad will do the same today,” said the Chief of Health Inspectors of the State, Prof. Angel Kunchev. He presented data on the epidemic situation in Europe and in our country.
“The epidemic situation in Europe over a 14-day period, despite the strong growth in Bulgaria, shows that we are still unchanged. We are currently 22nd out of 30 countries. We are 5th in the Balkans and here neither there are changes. The mortality rate is 1.56 per 100 thousand, which puts us in eighth place in the EU.

In his opinion, there are no changes in the age structure of the people that give a positive result. The number of positive cases did not cause a large increase in deaths, which also increased, but at a much slower rate.
He added that there is an increase in the tests carried out in our country. The limit of 400 tests per 100 thousand inhabitants was exceeded. Kunchev explained that the EU requires a certain amount of testing and only then accepts representative results. Bulgaria is definitely above this number, added the health inspector.
Cases in intensive care units logically followed the morbidity curve, noted Associate Professor Kunchev.

“If people don’t believe in the measures and don’t follow them, tell me, is there a need for further measures? Let’s follow the current measures.

The Health Minister also explained how to act if a student has flu symptoms. Parents had two options: contact the GP to take the necessary measures or take their child for an exam. The Ministry of Health adheres to the first option. If, on the contrary, mass tests are carried out with rapid tests among students, there is a risk of obtaining incorrect results, believes the minister.
“The number of laboratories importing information is too large, it requires serious processing. Around 1,500 tests are carried out in the national health system. All other units are made in private labs and we cannot know why someone was tested. Rapid and combined tests, before recommending and using them, we must submit them for validation at NCIPD and when we confirm them, we use them, ”added Prof. Asoc. Kunchev.
As the number of infected people is the highest in Sofia, a decision was made on Wednesday to increase the number of beds at Alexandrovska and Pirogov Hospital. The Ministry of Health is not afraid that private hospitals will not participate in the treatment of COVID-19.
General practitioners have sent the Ministry of Health two options for a method to schedule a CRP test on their personal patients. Angelov explained that a preferred option is to assess patients’ symptoms according to a scheme.
