The professor recommended that masks be worn at indoor gatherings
Thanks to the measures we have achieved a gradual increase in cases, the healthcare system has not been burdened. This was said in the morning block of BNT by the director of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev.
“Unlike in November, the cases have been decreasing very slowly now. The measures in our country are very measured, but they have had their effect. Many people should not gather indoors if there is ventilation and masks. At the end of this We are the third wave. It was also caused by the imposition of this British variant, which turned out to be much more contagious. We are looking for the Indian strain, the South African strain, the Brazilian. In our country we have not proved these variants. “There is a very developed healthcare system, colleagues are doing very well there. You will not go to work there for 3 weeks, thank God we have managed with very soft measures,” he added.
“At the National Center, colleagues found an option in 2 women from a village near Lom, who turned out to be mutated, we are looking for no spread. The women were on oxygen in a hospital, but are now alive and well,” Kantardzhiev added.
“NIGHT, which was established on February 26, we do not take fees for our work. Neither the doctors nor the other colleagues take money for the headquarters. We did all this within our official duties, and the work was a lot. We got tired, but “Stress still keeps us going. I’ve been preparing for a moment for 40 years when I can help people with my qualifications,” the professor added.
“In the case of vector vaccines, patients complain after the first dose, and in the case of RNA vaccines – after the second needle. 5-10% of people do not develop sufficient immunity. Between the first and second vaccines many people became ill, this is normal, they may have been in contact, “Kantardzhiev explained.
“Vitamin D reduces the severity of the disease by 15% and the possibility of infection. When there is sun, it is enough to sit outside in a T-shirt and shorts,” he recalled.
“Bulgaria is the only European country where people can choose vaccines, there is a preference for RNA vaccines. 40,000 people in Bulgaria have taken the second dose of AstraZeneca and are feeling well.
