Medical: All measures taken are to show that something is being done – Diseases

The measures taken by the state are correct, although they were late. This was stated by infectious disease specialist Dr. Trifon Valkov on BTV’s “Face to Face” program.

“However, the entire medical community is aware that masks cannot fully protect us,” he emphasized. “The logic is not medical. It is the health system’s attempt to limit the spread of the disease.”

Masks become a must in the open air. Minister Angelov also commented on the situation with the president.

“This practice turned out to be unprofitable over time. The mask becomes unusable the moment we put it on,” said Dr. Trifon Valkov.

According to him, the virus has already circulated in Europe. “The virus is still adapting. It has no interest in killing its host.

“What we saw in late March and early April, the first people to bring the virus to the country were migrants and they were the first patients in hospitals. They had severe coughs that lasted for weeks. This self-isolation must be respected. of people who have shown symptoms, ”commented Dr. Valkov.

“We should not trust 100% of PCR tests. They are used because we have nothing better. People who test positive but have no clinical symptoms does not mean they are contagious. The tests show that the virus breaks down.” . explained the infectious disease specialist.

He advised people to watch for their own symptoms. “If we have been in contact with a COVID-19 patient but we have no symptoms, we do not have to do a test,” he said.

According to Dr. Valkov, we are more likely to be infected by a person with symptoms than a patient without symptoms. All steps taken are to show that something is being done.
