All about the topic:

The epidemic of coronavirus (COVID-19) 32359

It develops in a way that ensures it stays alive and spreads.

He chose the way in which it goes more lightly, we get sick, but does not lead to terrible consequences - social and health.

Four - five strains of Omicron have been developed and they follow the indicated path - they are easily transmitted, but do not carry serious consequences and mortality, said Prof. Kunchev. 

Regarding the flu epidemic, there is a threat, but it is known, he stressed. 

Prof. Kunchev: There is still no serious circulation of flu viruses

Influenza epidemics occur every year, except for the last two.

The competition between viruses is fierce.

We await the return of the flu.

Colleagues in the US report at least 10-15 days earlier the start of a flu epidemic, commented the chief state health inspector.

According to him, the peak of flu incidence is expected to be at the end of January, beginning of February.

And he added that now is a good time for vaccination. 

Prof. Kunchev noted that the COVID-19 vaccination centers are open, but the interest in them is minimal.

And he added that the interest in flu vaccines is much greater. 

The high waves of COVID-19 passed at the beginning of the year, Assoc. Kunchev was categorical.
