Regarding the new variants of the virus and the protection from it - in the studio of "The day begins" the topics were commented by the virologist Assoc. Prof. Lyubomira Nikolaeva-Glomb.

Antibodies formed after coronavirus disease fade rapidly. The tests are not reliable enough to know if their number is protective - ie. enough to protect us from a new infection. So there is no point in doing antibody tests.

If we continue to have low immunization coverage, I would not be surprised if a variant of Bulgarian origin appears. Upon entering a host, the virus seems to borrow life and begin to dictate conditions. The more passages pass from person to person, the more we allow the virus to improve. That's why these variants appeared.

Any information on the origin of the coronavirus causing Covid-19 that will be collected during the WHO mission in China will be valuable. Discovering the origin of a virus, we will be prepared for other risks of virus transmission from animals to humans, told BNR virologist Assoc. Prof. Lyubomira Nikolaeva-Glomb from the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases.
