The director of the Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases and a member of the National Operational Staff, Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev, said that not every hospital can perform a PCR test when admitting patients as that would mean doing 200,000 tests a month. Since the beginning of the pandemic in this country 180,000 tests have been performed, the professor added.

With the tests we find the patient and the health inspectorates look for the contact persons. We have not allowed the spread of large clusters or infection in hospitals. The most dangerous time will be in October and November, when the season of viral diseases comes. The expert says there are three groups that need to be protected: those over 60, people with chronic diseases and those with immune deficiency.
