The spread of the coronavirus in our country is increasingly alarming. The whole country is already in the most critical red zone. There is a worrying trend that one in three subjects is positive for COVID-19
The state is willing to expand the measures a bit. High school students are expected to stay online.
The government is voting on new measures for businesses and families. The construction of COVID areas has also started in some polyclinics.
Every new attempt to control the COVID crisis opens up a new problem. Despite the call for GPs to come to the fore, many of them flatly refuse to work in the COVID areas of clinics. Therefore, they will be replaced by other DCC specialists, as well as specialists. The exact number of clinics that agree to open such areas is not yet clear, but the influx is not great.
ADVANCE IN THE BATTLE WITH COVID-19: The vaccine achieved 90% effectiveness
In 12 DCC they managed to assemble a team, but after a personal appeal from the director.
“Two specialists from the Pirogov Hospital will help to make the schedule complete,” explained Dr. Vasil Vassilev, director of the 12th DCC.
With your help and thanks to the team’s only GP, who also assumes the role of coordinator, the office will be operational as soon as the rapid tests arrive:
“We will be ready to open the doors to the new COVID zone, which is needed by Lyulin residents, so that the flows of COVID patients and the chronically ill and children can be separated,” explained Dr. Ivan Ivanov, personal physician.
The offices in question have another purpose: to facilitate the work of ambulances and hospitals, since patients with milder symptoms will be able to come here.
“Patients who have symptoms should receive secretions for rapid antigen testing. They will wait here, after which they will be referred to hospitals if they test positive,” explained Pavlina Tacheva, clinical laboratory assistant.

In addition to a test, they will be able to take a blood sample at this office. Then patients with symptoms will be thoroughly examined and, if necessary, sent for an X-ray.
“First they pass a rapid COVID test. If they are positive, we shoot them here. If they are negative, we send them to office number 41,” explained Alexander Angelov, assistant of the X-ray laboratory.
There will be a lab assistant and a nurse on each shift, and BGN 10 will be shared for each passing patient. GPs will also receive more money: 1,000 BGN for the current salary, but this does not force them to work in COVID areas.
“A person cannot work in one place until noon and then another. Tomorrow I have a children’s consultation at 08:00 and I will examine healthy children. If you are a parent, how would you perceive the idea that your doctor has examined to COVID patients yesterday? ”asks Dr. Gergana Nikolova.
The COVID areas themselves will be completely separate from the GP offices, and the working hours will be similar to that of the polyclinic:
“When the doctors on site decide that the patient comes for a test for their peace of mind, they will most likely offer to pay for it,” explained Dr. Vasil Vassilev.
There would be no patients returning with symptoms, even if they did not have a document from their personal physician.
