There is an increasing number of young people in the Covid-19 wards and intensive care wards of hospitals and one of the reasons is that they seek medical help too late, Prof. Radka Argirova, chair of the Bulgarian Association for Medical Virology has told Nova TV.

She added that people in serious condition come every day and called on patients who experience shortness of breath to seek medical help immediately. According to the virologist, there might be a slight rise in new cases of coronavirus infection after the elections. Prof. Radka Argirova also said that the number of newly infected continues to be high and the decline seen during weekends was a matter of statistics. Vaccination for hospital and social workers should be mandatory, she added.
