The demographic structure of the Bulgarian population and the fact that working parents are in contact with grandparents who care for their children are some of the factors behind the high mortality rate in our country, the analyst believes. PHOTO: Velislav Nikolov
2-3 generations in our country are under the same roof, unlike in northern countries, one of the explanations for high mortality
The opening of schools was one of the main reasons for the spread of the epidemic and the significant increase in the number of infected, driven by asymptomatic children who transmitted the virus and infected their grandparents. Although you have been studying online for two weeks, yet

It is still high Among the explanations for this time are working parents who leave their children with their grandparents, but due to their frequent movement they also become a major polluter of the virus. These conclusions are made by the analyst Tihomir Bezlov in relation to the high mortality in our country in recent weeks.
“One of the explanations is the demographic structure of the new patients. It is noteworthy that the high percentage of affected in the 60-70 age group remains,” he said.
From the sixth incidence in the period of July 9 to 17, the group of people between 60 and 70 years old gradually rises to the top, he estimates. At the end of November, they are already in second place. In Bulgaria this group

and ranks fifth (out of 9). And only during the last week of December 4-11, 20.7% of them are infected.
The majority, 21.4%, are Bulgarians suffering from COVID between the ages of 50 and 59.
“It is not clear what the reasons are. Perhaps

However, there is another reason. In Bulgaria, unlike Sweden, Germany, England and other northern countries, often three generations live together in one home. Students who are no longer in class should be a minor factor for active grandparents (60-70 years). However, it seems that mothers and fathers are more active in using their fathers to care for other children in the home, he traces the likely path of infection.
At the same time, the number of people in need of hospital treatment remains high, as well as those in more serious conditions admitted to intensive care units.

And on Tuesday of the week Past the blackest record so far was set with 213 died. There were 64 deaths in the last 24 hours.

of COVID-19 for a week was marked in our country on Sunday. Their weekly number is almost 3,000 more than that of the newly infected, which is 18,108. However, the record number is due to the high morbidity in recent weeks.
The tendency to have more cured than sick per day was observed throughout the seven days except Wednesday and Thursday.
During the last 24 hours, the number of people diagnosed with the coronavirus is 2,235 with 1,287 new cases.
Thus, the total tested with coronavirus so far reaches 178,952, of which 91,569 cases are active. There are 10,000 fewer cured.
