Deputy Prof. Mihail Okoliiski: Bulgaria must tighten measures – Society

I don’t know why the Bulgarian authorities are not tightening the measures like in Europe. The measures must be observed and I have no observations in Bulgaria that they are very consciously observed. This was stated at BNT by the representative of the World Health Organization in Bulgaria, Associate Prof. Mihail Okoliiski.

NOVINI.BG recalls that since there is again a registry of new coronavirus infections in our country – 612 with a total of 6,048 PCR tests – 10.12% of those analyzed.

New record! 612 are the new cases of COVID-19 in our country

“We need to behave in a rational and sensible way, and not observe preventive behaviors only in front of people. We do it and we pay a high price for it,” he said about compliance with anti-epidemic measures.

According to him, there are many good professionals in our healthcare system. “Up to 20% of the beds are occupied, there is a resource to use, but if this rate is maintained, there will be a risk for the health system,” he warned.

Adjunct Professor Okoliiski: The scale of the pandemic may be much larger than presented

On the occasion of today’s World Mental Health Day, Adjunct Professor Okoliiski said that mental health is in the backyard of medicine. “Psychiatry is considered a science based on incomplete evidence, which is not the case. There must be human attention and a lack of stigma, and there is one here. Crazy people are thought to be crazy and that cannot be changed,” he said. . .
