“The KM95 or FFP2 mask can be worn longer to protect against COVID-19,” said Nikolay Kostov from the Association of Pharmacy Owners on the air of “Hello Bulgaria”.

According to him, these masks can be sterilized and used up to 5-6 times. These masks are more expensive and made with another technology and protect much more than a normal surgical mask.

Explain very precisely when to wear masks outdoors.

“Surgical masks are three-layer and are certified medical devices and have been tested for the protection they provide. While cloth masks are just textiles, they are not a medical device. They protect, but just as much as a scarf protects.

The surgical mask provides greater protection, but for an hour and a half and two. The problem is that it gets moistened with the breath and through this humid environment the virus can easily pass through the three layers of the mask and reach the lips. The KM95 mask does not touch the lips. “

There is no shortage of masks at the moment, he added.

Nikolay Kostov also commented on flu vaccines, which were sold out for hours in the commercial network.

This year there will be no more deliveries.

“Every year, usually around this time, we receive a single supply of influenza vaccines from the two manufacturers (one is Dutch, the other is French),” said Nikolai Kostov.

Why Hospitals Return COVID-19 Patients

He said the drugs were ordered from distributors, not pharmacies. According to him, there are 180,000 vaccines promised by the government, which will be distributed by GPs, not through pharmacies, according to one list, for people over 65.

“When 10 vaccines arrive in a pharmacy, they are not even enough for the staff. So not even for hours, and in many pharmacies the vaccines are not released at all,” Kostov added.
