The situation with the spread of the coronavirus in the ranks of the armed forces was also described by Chief of Staff Gen. Ventsislav Mutafchiiski. So far, there are 96 infected among the military, including 46 doctors and nurses from the Military Medical Academy.
There are also 10 cadets with coronavirus, but they have already started the school year infected, explained Gen. Mutafchiiski. They were captured and isolated from the start.
“What can protect us from coronavirus infection until a vaccine and treatment appears is the use of masks. It has been shown to reduce viral load and even if infected, a person can spread the disease more easily and develop antibodies.” Mutafchiiski said. .
