Kunchev: This is not the end of the pandemic – Health – Bulgaria – Drive straight
I suggested that the state of emergency last until May 15, said the chief state health inspector
“The incidence is low and the trend is good. We all hope this is the end of the pandemic. But it’s not, for sure. Ending the pandemic is a big mistake. We will be foolish if we behave in such a way as to return the morbidity of the high school students, to fill the hospitals again and to be forced to return to the introduction of new measures. ” This is the comment in the program “Drive straight” the chief state health inspector Assoc. Prof. Angel Kunchev. He decided that the victims of the pandemic in our country so far are over 36,500.
According to him, at the moment in Bulgaria and the whole of Eastern Europe the situation is good. But what is happening in Western Europe is worrying.
“As the Chief State Inspector of Health and the Ministry as such, we submitted as a project to maintain this situation until May 15,” said Assoc. Prof. Kunchev. However, it is not fatal that it is not extended.
According to him, the low percentage of vaccinated in our country may be the reason for a more serious situation in the fall. He reiterated that there should be a campaign to use vaccination.
Regarding the virus that is currently circulating, Assoc. Prof. Kunchev answers that it is not to be underestimated – with a high temperature, a sharp start, it lasts for 2-3 days. However, I do not believe that there will be a high wave of the epidemic. Currently, most hospitals are in large cities.
Assoc. Prof. Kunchev does not believe that the situation with refugees will create serious risks to public health in Bulgaria. “Last year, 200,000 to 300,000 tourists came from Ukraine. The fact that he is now coming as a refugee does not change the radical situation “, said Assoc. Prof. Kunchev.
