Against the backdrop of dozens of human tragedies related to the pandemic in Bulgarian, contradictory statements continue to be made in the media and public space, unsupported by scientific facts, expressing only personal opinions related to wearing masks and the spread of the coronavirus, the Bulgarian Medical Association warns. 

Particularly worrying are the messages delivered by fellow doctors that there is no point in wearing masks. The BMA also warns that there is a massive neglect of anti-epidemic measures against the background of the upcoming flu wave.
That is why the Bulgarian doctors once again call on citizens to observe physical distancing, wear masks, and not to forget disinfection, BNR reports.
