Out of 555 confirmed coronavirus cases in the country, 52 or 9.5 percent are
healthcare workers. Unfortunately, there are many health workers that have been
infected by coronavirus worldwide, as they have direct contact with patients. 34 of
them are infected in hospitals and in outpatient clinics, Health Minister Venko Filipce
said on Sunday’s press conference.
He urged healthcare workers to respect the protocols that have been in place since
the beginning of the pandemic, to protect themselves in and out of the workplace,
because their role, their health, is paramount during this crisis.
The health minister said yesterday that the country has entered the second phase of
the epidemic, given that there are more and more diagnosed patients, which was
stated at a meeting of the Commission on Infectious Diseases.
