Four areas again in a dark red zone
The first proven flu patient and COVID was detected in the Balkans at the same time
Tests that can prove cases of people with both influenza and coronavirus or Flurona (ie flu and coronavirus) are available and performed in Bulgaria when needed. Such patients are being monitored, but there is no evidence of double infection so far. This was commented by experts to “Trud” on the occasion of the information that in Israel, the Czech Republic and the USA, and since yesterday in the Balkans – in the Bosnian Republika Srpska, there are already declared patients with mixed infection.
In the Bosnian Republika Srpska, the patient with Flurona was born in 2000, he is from Banja Luka, and his condition is currently stable, BTA reported.
Such is the case of a woman in labor in Israel who was also reported to be with Fluron. She has mild symptoms and is in good general condition, world agencies reported, citing doctors and the local press.
Flurone was detected in the United States and the Czech Republic in 2020, and the cases were mild.
“We have not had proven mixed infections with influenza and coronavirus in Bulgaria so far. Last year we had no proven flu viruses at all, and for 2021 there is only one case, not to mention mixed – they are extremely rare. Influenza circulation is declining during the pandemic due to anti-epidemic measures, “Prof. Nelly Korsun, a virologist at the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases, told Trud.
As of yesterday, four districts in Bulgaria are again in the dark red zone of infection by COVID-19 – Burgas, Varna, Pernik and Sofia-city.
