Omicron - the new coronavirus variant 909

Since the beginning of the pandemic, the internal ward of the state hospital has been operating as a covid-19 hospital.

At peak times, doctors and nurses were transferred from other departments, but now there are no applicants due to the suspended supplements and low salaries in the medical facility, Dr. Rumen Kondev admitted.

"I'm alone, with one nurse and one orderly. We have to look for at least one more doctor. I've talked to some colleagues who work, but they say: "We can't do it for this money, we won't come."

The new cases of coronavirus in our country for the last 24 hours are 1024

16 patients are currently being treated in the ward, with 4 nurses and two orderlies discharged today.

The hospital's management is discussing an option for the ward to stop admitting for a while to allow the staff to recover, but according to Dr. Kondev, this is not a solution.

"I don't think there will be a problem. For now, if we keep this pressure, the situation will be under control. But the question is not for now, the question is for the future. There will come a time when there will be no doctors. And if a decision is made, the pensioners to be fired, half of the hospitals in Bulgaria must be closed."
