“Our PCR laboratory diagnoses three genes. Our machines do not report the so-called S-genes, which is at the peak, where are these modifications? As if the S gene were missing. However, the other two report high levels. This means that in any case we have a coronavirus infection, but we do not recognize the S gene. Recently, there have been patients for almost a day who have been discovered to lack the S gene during detection in the PCR laboratory, “explained the director of the emergency institute.
“Although we do not yet have results from the central laboratory, we believe that this strain is already in Bulgaria and will unfortunately start to gain momentum. So we have to be much more careful and follow the measurements,” added Baltov.
