The Minister of Health, Prof. Kostadin Angelov, met with the Mayor of Sandanski Atanas Stoyanov.

Today they are deciding whether the quarantine will take place for 14 to 10 days.

Coronavirus wards in several cities are already overcrowded, there are not enough beds, and doctors are lacking to care for patients. The most difficult situation is in Shumen, Burgas, Targovishte and Dobrich.

On Monday, 395 of the 1,581 tests carried out were newly diagnosed with the virus, which means that the percentage of infected by the test reaches 25%, according to data from the information system. Thus, the total number of active cases in our country amounts to 11 574, 1,500 are treated in hospitals, of which 74 are in the intensive care unit. 18 people died.

“We are not worried about the shortage of beds. We are concerned about the strength of the Bulgarian doctors, who have been packed in suits non-stop for 6 months, giving their best. This is the only thing that worries us and we will be close to them. If necessary, we will enter medical institutions to help.

There will be an advisory meeting of experts in epidemiology and infectious diseases on Tuesday to decide whether to reduce the quarantine from 14 to 10 days, he explained. According to studies around the world, “around the 10th day after the onset of clinical symptoms, the person is unlikely to transmit the infection,” Angelov said.
