It is important that GPs can issue referrals for a PCR test. This was stated by the Vice President of the Bulgarian Medical Union (BMU) Dr. Nikolay Branzalov to BTV.
“The step is correct, even late. In most European countries, the tests are free for the insured. In any case, a large part of the population will be tested,” said Dr. Stoycho Katsarov, President of the Board of the Center for Health Rights.
“Diagnosis is the most difficult step for patients,” said Dr. Branzalov.
“Referrals are given after an examination and evaluation by a doctor. We hope that a referral can be given electronically, after calling a doctor and listing the symptoms. This option from a distance will be better, since the infection does not it will spread. “, said the vice president of the BMA.
“Fraud is possible, but why would you want to get an AKP test when you’re healthy?” Dr. Katsarov asked.
“We don’t really know how many people have encountered the virus. Without this indicator, hardly anyone else can be calculated. It is time for a massive study,” he added.
“Weddings and homes are the main sources of infection,” concluded Dr. Nikolai Branzalov.
