The number of people with severe coronavirus symptoms has increased and the average age of the patients receiving hospital treatment has dropped, Dr. Ivan Poromanski, Director of Pirogov Hospital for Emergency Medicine, said in an interview for Nova TV.
"It seems that people got tired of this virus and started to delay hospital treatment", Ivan Poromanski added. The average age of the patients admitted to Pirogov Emergency Hospital is 58 years old. The youngest patient is 18 years old. There are still unoccupied Covid-19 beds in the largest Bulgarian hospital, but there are not enough medics. Almost one hundred people are now being treated in the Covid-19 units, including 10 patients in intensive care units. Pirogov hospital has the capacity to admit another 250 Covid-19 patients. Most of the hospital staff have been vaccinated or have had Covid-19.
