Antigen tests help us here. With them we test target groups and that is how we understand what is the condition of these groups. An example is teachers, only 0.02% of respondents are positive. This gives us peace of mind at this time, but does not give us the right to make hasty decisions. “he said, adding that currently it is It is impossible to dissolve all the sectors, because if the incidence increases, it will reach such proportions that “we will lose the belt.” That is why the restaurants will remain closed.

This is an achievement for us and it is due to many doctors and nurses coming to this place, ”added Angelov.

In this correspondence we have clarified our positions. He already understands our actions more than anyone else. “, said. Prof. Angelov.
