Proposal by the experts
They are considering not having a certificate for antibodies
The morbidity of the medical specialist is also a factor
The antibody certificate is valid only in our country.
The possibility of revoking the green certificate for antibodies, which is valid only in Bulgaria, is being discussed. This became clear from a comment of the Minister of Health Asena Serbezova after the parliamentary control today.
She clarified that there is still no solution to this, but discussions are underway and added that the rules in Bulgaria regarding the pandemic were one of the most liberal. Serbezova clarified that the inclusion of additional sites for which the requirement for a green certificate applies is not being discussed.
In connection with the National Operational Plan for dealing with COVID-19 presented on Thursday, the Minister explained that the occupancy rate of intensive care beds is given by the Regional Health Inspectorates (RHI).
According to her, in addition to the number of intensive care beds, the morbidity of medical specialists is also a priority. In the plan, Bulgaria is divided into six clusters.
A map with the relevant information about the model to be followed in the management of the pandemic is to be published on the website of the Council of Ministers.
The new policy in the national operational plan:
Influencers are convincing about vaccines via Instagram
Bet on “creative concept”
Influencers are on the front lines to convince people why they should get vaccinated.
Pages on social networks Facebook and Instagram, as well as a YouTube channel will be made by the government as part of its new policy to promote vaccination in our country. This is written in the National Operational Plan for Tackling the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The campaign aims to “publish up-to-date, reliable and accessible information on vaccines and vaccination against COVID-19, as well as infographics and short explanatory videos of experts, stories of people who have contracted the virus, messages from opinion leaders, influencers, etc. on the topics of the day related to vaccines “, the document reads.
This is part of a changed approach that the health ministry will rely on to deal with the pandemic.
The authors of the plan also rely on a “comprehensive creative concept, by an external contractor”, with which to increase the percentage of vaccinated in our country. Definite answers to questions from different groups of people will be uploaded to a new site, which will include, among other things, a section “Factcheck”, which will refute misleading and false allegations – e.g. “Vaccines have not passed all phases of clinical trials.” For all this he will look for “logo and slogan”.
