Immune system

The situation with Covid-19 in the country is currently under control, but scientists are adamant that such viruses will come in the future, commented the chief state health inspector Angel Kunchev on BNT.

Epidemiologist Dr Predrag Kon told RTS that vaccination is the only way out of the epidemic, but also that citizens should not be worried about checking antibodies, since that is only one of the indicators of immunity.

There are 1,352 new cases of coronavirus per day. This means that 14.83 percent of the samples are positive, according to the data in the Unified Information Portal.

The number of people with coronavirus in intensive care units in Bulgaria has decreased for the last 24 hours from 812 to 801. However, the total number of hospitalized has increased per day from 10,271 to 10,365.

Professor Nadir Arber, the Israeli inventor of a potentially "miracle drug" against the novel coronavirus, has spoken to Kathimerini about this new promising treatment.

"In the field of combating coronavirus, we opened two hospitals in Belgrade and Krusevac. We are one of only two or three countries that managed something like this. Those hospitals arrived at the moment when it was most needed. Thanks to them, we saved hundreds of lives. We have started mass immunization of citizens", she said.

Scientists have devoted years to studying the deceased mammals blanketed with crusty, pus-filled lesions in the hopes of finding the cause of the condition

Rushing ahead with vaccination plans can do a disservice in the end result, warned former health minister Dr. Mimi Vitkova on BNR.

She pointed out that the way information is presented makes people think twice. The hasty approval of vaccine production left the impression that authorities were rushing not to save people's health, but to accumulate as big financial results as they can.
