Infection

The seven people proven infected with the Indian variant of the coronavirus have been working in a tram depot in Sofia.

This became clear from the words of the director of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (NCIPD) Prof. Iva Hristova to BTV.

The National Institute of Public Health (INSP) reported on Thursday that the first death in a COVID-19 patient infected with the Indian Delta strain of the novel coronavirus was registered in Romania. According to data published by the INSP, as of June 20, 44 cases of infections with the Indian Delta variant, considered more contagious and virulent, have been confirmed.

There are probably no other patients infected with the "Delta" version of COVID-19.

The case was dated back to May, but was announced only yesterday. This led the Minister of Health Stoycho Katsarov to ask for an explanation from the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases whether there was a delay in announcing the information.

The first case of an Indian variant of the coronavirus has been detected in our country, reported the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (NCIPD).

The sample was taken from a man in the age group between 20 and 30 years old from Pleven.

The NCIPD clarifies that the patient has the right of temporary residence in the country. He didn't declare a trip abroad.

Six districts in Bulgaria are now designated as Covid-19 green zone in terms of coronavirus morbidity.

This means that the cases in Bourgas, Vratsa, Kardzhali, Pleven, Razgrad and Silistra are less than 20 per 100, 000 people, data from the National Cenntre for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases shows on June 15.

The retired director of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (NCIPD) Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev responded to the claims that according to his tax return he has very ample savings. To explain the amount, he shared details of his private life for the first time this morning on bTV:

The employees of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases have staged a protest following the retirement of the center's longtime director, Prof. Todor Kantardzhiev. In their view, this is a very bad administrative  decision.

The dangerous fungus began to spread throughout Indian hospitals among COVID-19 patients, due to their overcrowded facilities as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic, but also due to poor hygiene and poor health conditions. Just to reiterate, India broke all records in terms of the number of deaths and the number of infected based on monitoring daily figures.

The Infectious disease specialists have reportedly decided to recommend it to the government

Demand for regular supplies of affordable meat will create future pandemics that will make Covid-19 pandemic look like a "dress rehearsal", scientists are warning.  

Producing meat is creating the perfect breeding ground for diseases of the same kind to emerge, according to the South African academics.
