Dr. Penchev predicts whether there will be an extension of the 10-day lockdown

The percentage and mortality rate in Bulgaria per 100 thousand people is quite worrying. Mortality itself is the result of many complex factors, such as the rather aging nation. This was stated by the head of the Sofia RHI Dr. Dancho Penchev on the air of Nova TV.

“Back in the years, the prevention and control of chronic diseases – diabetes, hypertension – was missed. People neglect this prevention. This has given such a force to the virus to attack these concomitant diseases, “he said, recalling:” Health is the responsibility of each individual. If you do not lead a healthy lifestyle when you get sick, seek help.

“Every measure that is introduced is introduced for a certain period of time and a certain effect is expected from it. “Unfortunately, the diffuse spread, the pressure on healthcare facilities, necessitated the introduction of these stricter measures,” he explained.

According to him, within these 10 days the authorities expect at least the number of infected and sick to remain. “I can’t say whether this will happen, but any measure can be partially repealed or partially extended,” he said.

The hotels are almost closed, you saw in the order that they switch to the “catering” option. Gyms and restaurants are closed, “the doctor reminded.

We hope that the measures that have been introduced will give some of the effect we expect. Currently, the measures are many and cover many sectors. We had conversations with representatives of the restaurants, they are worried. But I can’t say that on day 11, they will be open. We still gave a window of a few days so that they could prepare for this closure.

According to him, if the number of infected continues to be over 4000 per day, it means that we are in a plateau. “Then the complexity of the analysis includes a medical network, the pressure on the establishments, the morbidity of 100,000,” he said.

Regarding the situation in the capital, he said: “I am very worried and not about the beds, there are beds in Sofia and more can always be revealed. I am worried about colleagues and staff. Both physically and mentally people are exhausted. a question about beds that are being transformed from pure to covid. There are still, albeit few. As of yesterday, the free beds in Sofia 1821 for the unoccupied beds are for uncomplicated and 115 for intensive beds, “he said.
