According to her, it is believed that now the measures to introduce new ones have not been exhausted. However, with more patients, we could expect more and more severe.
Currently, PCR tests have the highest sensitivity. It is important to take the materials, transport them, as well as the time elapsed since the contamination. In the first few days, the virus cannot be tested. People were shocked when their relatives became ill, some of them seriously. It depends on our behavior whether we will get sick or not, said Prof. Hristova from Bulgaria ON AIR.
The PCR tests were very reliable: more than 99%. Tests were on the market at different prices, the range was wide, and prices were the policy of the laboratories.
Two days ago, the EC issued a recommendation to purchase antigen tests in order to expand testing. The latest generation of antigen tests: They are rapid and performed with minimal equipment, said Professor Iva Hristova.
However, the PCR test would not displace as the “gold standard”.
“There are many factors that affect a test. If you have been in contact with a sick person, they can be examined in five days,” he explained.
I don’t think it makes much sense to study the entire population, because in a week things will change. And that? But it makes sense to test people locally as a precaution, explained the deputy director of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases.
According to her, vaccinations are mandatory.
