Rise of the infected coronavirus in a hospice of a private hospital in Sofia. 40 of the patients and 28 staff members tested positive for COVID-19 at Serdika Rehabilitation Hospital.

From there, they called the relatives of infected patients to take them home. The signal was sent to BNT by concerned family members. The restaurant is inflexible: they would not chase anyone, but they informed the relatives of the asymptomatic infected and only recommended that they take them home.

Pavlina Pavlova was with a friend yesterday when her phone rang. They call from the hospice where he housed a relative 9 days ago with a negative peer test. What you hear is shocking.

“Since the whole place is on fire, you have to pick up this relative by Sunday at the latest,” Pavlina said.

Carriers of coronavirus, but without symptoms, have no place in hospitals – says the head of the private hospital.

“Our duty is to inform family members that there are infected patients and infected staff in the hospital, which does not surprise anyone. And we warn that it is useful for the case to be quarantined at home ”, explains the manager Dr. Metodi Yankov.

However, those housed in hospice need specialized care.

“All the people at home – immediately get in touch right away. They would take it, although it would cost a lot of money to hire some people to take care of them, but no one wants to take care of a positive COVID Man,” says Pavlina.

“No patient was transferred to the ambulance and taken home, nor was he left on a stretcher in front of a medical institution. When family members refuse, we have fulfilled our obligation to provide information, the patient stays with us and we take care of him with all our might. we have, “adds Dr. Yankov.

Pavlina and her boyfriend got stuck and started calling yesterday. First at the Ministry of Health, RHI, again at the ministry, then at the Council of Ministers and then at headquarters, they gave him that phone number. And so for several hours, where they picked her up, they didn’t offer a solution to the problem.

“Is it important for us as citizens of this country to turn to state institutions in such complex situations, or to turn directly to the BNT?” Asked Pavlina.

The hospice proposal, aimed at the families of the people in the hospice, has not been ordered or coordinated with the capital’s RHI, they explained to BNT. An inspection will take place.
