Virus

The increase in the number of COVID-19 cases fuels the virus' mutation, an expert has said, urging people to wear face masks to limit the spread of the virus.

"The rise in infections also accelerates the emergence of new mutations," said Faruk Yorulmaz, a professor from Trakya University.

"The decline in COVID-19 cases is steady but the rate of decline is slowing. It is very likely that new mutations will emerge in the autumn to winter period of 2022, leading to a new variant that will increase morbidity. Probably the wave will be milder but there will be more infected people," said on Nova TV Prof.

Estimates concerning acute hepatitis in children are particularly worrying, especially for the age group of 5-17.

The associate Professor of Respiratory Medicine, Mr Nikos Tzanakis, spoke to MEGA channel about the appearance of hepatitis in children in Europe and its correlation with Covid-19.

Mr. Tzanakis referred to hepatitis and stressed that it has nothing to do with Covid-19.

"If the measures continue to be loosened, pupils and students will start attending schools, in early March there will be a peak in morbidity again," said mathematician Prof. Ognyan Kunchev on Nova TV.

Assoc. Prof. Velislava Terzieva, Head of the Laboratory of Virology at the University Hospital "Lozenets" and researcher at the Institute of Biology and Immunology of Reproduction - "Acad. Kiril Bratanov" - BAS was a guest on the Bulgarian National Radio.

An early version of COVID-19, which seems to have been created in the laboratory, was discovered in samples from a Chinese biotechnology company, writes Sara Knapton, the Science Editor for The Daily Telegraph.
This finding justifies claims that the virus may have originated as a laboratory experiment that accidentally leaked.

"The cellular immunity that humans acquire when vaccinated against Covid-19 protects against all previous variants of the coronavirus." This was said on the air of the Bulgarian National Radio by Prof.

"Currently, the situation is epidemic. Every negative test is questionable in itself." This was said on bTV by Dr. Nedyalko Kalachev, owner of a chain of laboratories.

The measures in our country are also imposed on the vaccinated because there is a large number of people without immunization.
