The morbidity has jumped to nearly 200 per 100,000 people. 157 people were diagnosed in the last 3 days alone. As a result, the Regional Health Inspectorate in Veliko Tarnovo has ordered the suspension of scheduled admissions and scheduled hospital operations from today (Monday). Visits to hospitalized people are forbidden, and everyone who enters a hospital must wear a protective mask and will have their temperature taken at the entrance.
Exceptions are provided for activities related to organ, tissue and cell transplantation, diagnosis and treatment of patients with oncological and oncohematological diseases, assisted reproduction and birth, rehabilitation activities, long-term treatment and psychiatric care. There is also an exception for hospital visits when it comes to terminally ill patients.
The temporary anti-epidemic measures will be changed depending on the development of the epidemic situation on the territory of the Veliko Tarnovo district. Similar measures were introduced at the end of last week in the medical institutions in Sofia and other cities due to the growing number of new cases of Covid-19.
