Virus

According to Dr Sekler, it can be noticed that "the virus has crossed two thirds of the way and that everything is on the right track for now".
Sekler told RTS that the winter period is generally the season of respiratory diseases, and he estimated that children should go to kindergartens and schools.

In the last 24 hours, 30 people died.
There are 113 patients on respirators.
In the last 24 hours, 34.817 samples were tested in Serbia.
There are 2.729 COVID patients in hospital, 35 more than in the previous update, and 113 people on respirators, four less than the data published yesterday. Mortality is currently 0.87 percent.

"We expect a double epidemic in our country - from influenza and coronavirus. Maybe we will have a more severe flu season." Such a forecast was made in the studio of "Sabudi Se" on Nova TV by Georgi Popov, an expert on infectious diseases at Sofiamed University Hospital. According to him, the health system will withstand the pressure.

Nearly two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, the origin of the virus tormenting the world remains shrouded in mystery.
Most scientists believe it emerged in the wild and jumped from bats to humans, either directly or through another animal. Others theorize it escaped from a Chinese lab.

Also, in addition to patients who carry the HIV virus, omicron could also come from people suffering from other forms of immunodeficiency, said the immunologist of the German Society for Immunology, Carsten Watzl. He believes that such an assumption is probable, which he supported with similar research results discovered in other medical cases.

There is no data on the difference in the course of the new version of COVID-19 - Omicron. This was explained in the studio of "Hello, Bulgaria" by the epidemiologist and lecturer at the London School of Tropical Medicine Dr. Petar Markov.

The virus continues to change, the new variant attracts attention with its large number of mutations - over 32, for comparison the Delta variant has only 16. It is located in the spike, it can run away from the immune response, neutralizing antibodies are directed against the spike. This should not cause panic. This was stated in "The Day Begins" by Prof.

British virologists have reported the emergence of a new strain of coronavirus containing a number of mutations that potentially make it more resistant to vaccines than any other genetic variant of SARS-CoV-2.

People have become demotivated about adhering to the rules against COVID-19 and conditions are leading to an "anti-virus measures' fatigue," Health Minister Fahrettin Koca has said. 

He warned that the anti-virus measures must be strictly observed once again during the winter months. 

The number of cases of coronavirus infection in the world today exceeded 250 million, Reuters reported.

Some countries in Eastern Europe have registered record numbers, although the wave of coronavirus Delta infection is beginning to subside and many countries are easing trade and tourism restrictions.
