The death of K-19, like that of Nurse Yordanka, has not occurred in our country until now

He died in the intensive care unit at Blagoevgrad Hospital after almost two weeks of efforts by doctors.

His first encounter with the coronavirus was in May, when he had it with relative ease. However, in early December, he felt unwell, had typical symptoms, and after a test, the PCR test for Covid-19 was positive.

The nurse entered one of Kovid’s wards for treatment, but her condition worsened and she was transferred to the intensive care unit, where she died last night.

Yordanka Paunova retired on March 8, 2018 as an internal medicine nurse with 39 years of work experience, but even after that she continued to work and care for patients.

Unfortunately, this is the third nurse from Blagoevgrad to fall victim to the insidious virus this month. In early December, Kovid-19 killed a nurse in the hemodialysis room, Ana Popnikolova, and Vangelia Kiprova, a nurse in the intensive care unit for the mentally ill.
