117 quarantined people are also expected to vote in Ruse. There are 5 polling stations open in the COVID compartments.
BNT reporter Daniela Dimitrova joined the voters in the COVID sector of the Oncology Center.
Due to the fear of infection, instead of five PEC members each, three people enter the COVID wards in Ruse. They are equipped with suits. Most have had COVID or have been vaccinated.
Because today they will work 12 hours among the virus, they demanded an additional remuneration of BGN 50, but were denied by the CEC. Currently, 26 patients are accommodated in the COVID ward of the oncology center. Most are in serious condition.
There is no resuscitation here, there is not enough oxygen. Some of the concentrators were purchased from patients who overcame COVID-19. However, 10 people have lost the battle with the disease in the last 4 months.
The commotion and noise around the voting in the COVID compartment is felt, but not heard, because only one’s own breathing is under the protective mask.
On one bed is a man of oxygen, on the other is 41-year-old Milen Gadzhev, who became infected by his wife. “Shortness of breath, fever, chills,” says Milen Gadzhev.
Although his body does not obey, he will go to the next room to vote. Petar Petrakiev has already fought the virus and will be discharged within days. His mood is better, so he is among the first to vote in the COVID section.
As chairwoman of the sectional election commission in the COVID sector, Nedyalka Nedelcheva wants fairer pay. “We don’t even know the amount we’re here for.
Because we are humanists here, patients, even in the infectious ward, must exercise their voice, “said Nedyalka Nedelcheva, chairwoman of the PEC in the COVID ward.
Doctors try to keep fear aside because in critical situations that are commonplace here, it does not help them. “You can’t get used to informing your relatives when someone is dying that someone is getting worse, it’s hard,” added pulmonologist Dr. Nikolai Evgeniev.
The biggest problem in the COVID compartment is the lack of oxygen. “We have always had a problem with oxygen. We have had cases where patients do not respond to even 16 liters per minute of oxygen,” added Dr. Kamen Kozhuharov – director of KOC-Ruse.
The director of the oncology center dreams of an oxygen generator for coronavirus patients and goes to vote for better healthcare before taking up the late duty in the COVID sector because there is a shortage of medical staff.
There was a constant flow of people willing to vote this morning in the COVID ward of MHAT “St. Mina ”in Plovdiv, Maritsa also reports.

The ward treats 39 patients with mild to moderate disease caused by the virus. Eleven patients had pre-registered, but after the morning procedures at 10 o’clock it turned out that there were others willing to exercise the right to vote.
The polling station is located in one of the offices outside the ward and without access of other people, except the section commission and the voters. A few, sitting in the hallway, waited for the dark room to clear to release the ballot.
“This is my right, given by the Constitution, and I believe that one should defend one’s opinion, and not stand by indifferently,” said Petar Peev, a 30-year-old patient from Asenovgrad. of treatment at St. Mina. He said that he was admitted with a fever and a diagnosis of pneumonia.
Peev was determined to get immunized after seeing how the antibodies moved after suffering from the virus. “There are two options – to believe in science or on Facebook. I believe in science “, the young man commented.
