All the districts of our country are already in the “red” zone for the distribution of COVID-19, with more than 120 infected per 100,000 inhabitants. This was announced by the Chief of State Health Inspectors, Prof. Dr., Ph.D. Angel Kunchev at a briefing in the Council of Ministers.
“Bulgaria ranks 14th in morbidity out of 30 European countries and 7th in mortality with a score of 9,86. This means that Bulgaria manages to keep morbidity and mortality around the European average; the system is working well”, Assoc said. Kunchev.
The average morbidity in the country has reached 518 people per 100,000 inhabitants. The situation is similar in Europe. There is only one country on the Old Continent that is in the “orange zone” of COVID-19 distribution: Finland. “The pandemic continues to affect the continent to an extremely high degree; morbidity records are set almost every day,” Kunchev added.
Statistics place our country next to Spain and France in terms of morbidity. If we reach a morbidity of more than 600 per 100,000 people, hospitals will be built only for the treatment of COVID-19, as well as the so-called “Clean Hospitals”, which will include only patients with other diseases.
According to him, for the second week in a row, the tests for 7 days are more than 1000 per 100 thousand people, which means that the indicators are reliable. He added that there is no increase in positive tests this week, which is good news.
“Neither hydroxychloroquine nor remdesivir are specific drugs for the treatment of this disease. They have their place when the doctor decides. This also applies to plasma, since not all patients can administer it and not all patients can obtain it.” Starting with antibiotics and ending with supplements will not protect citizens, “he said.
The Minister of Health, Prof. Kostadin Angelov, also asked citizens not to stock up on medicines. He asked people not to self-medicate, as this could have serious consequences. According to him, an organization has been made for the supply of important medicines, exhausted by the pharmaceutical network, but extremely necessary for pregnant women.
The provision on “green corridors” will be clarified for people 65 and older in stores and pharmacies. Discussions will be completed on November 18 on whether rapid antigen tests can replace PCR and whether its results are sufficient for isolation and quarantine.
