Prof. Kunchev: An emergency epidemic situation will not be introduced in the country because of whooping cough

An emergency epidemic situation will not be introduced in the country due to the spread of whooping cough, because it is not necessary. This was announced for BNT by the chief state health inspector Assoc. Angel Kunchev.

500 cases of whooping cough have already been registered in the country. According to Kunchev, no extraordinary measures are required, and quarantine will be introduced only in specific schools and kindergartens where there are sick people, and online training will also be introduced. At the moment, a peak of the disease cannot be predicted, as the spread of whooping cough is expected to subside by the end of the year, added Prof. Kunchev. Next week, the regulation will come into force, with which the first vaccination of babies is withdrawn by half a month and vaccines are provided for pregnant women who wish to be immunized.

According to him, the state is responsible for providing vaccines for the immunization calendar.
