COVID-19: RESPONSES TO THE CRISIS

Summary/Abstract: In Bulgaria, the pandemic was declared on March 13, 2020, along with the first cases of infection, and by order of the Minister of Health was declared a state of emergency and a number of accompanying measures to combat infection. More than 2 years have passed since the official announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bulgaria. During this period, Bulgaria suffered significant losses, expressed mainly in human casualties and economic consequences. The pandemic had its impact on the overall life of the country, with special pressure on the health care system, the social security system and the economy. In the first months of the pandemic, the main areas of decision-making were at the level of providing medical care to those infected and sick and seeking appropriate methods for testing, diagnosis, treatment and appropriate anti-epidemic measures. Secondly, the search for solutions to address the problems of a healthy system began - the activity of primary outpatient medical care, specialized outpatient medical care, organization of hospital care in meeting the increased flow of patients for hospitalization, provision of appropriate drugs, organization and creation of algorithms and protocols for behavior of both medical staff and the population. From an epidemiological point of view, many anti-epidemic measures were identified and introduced - isolation, social distance, hygiene measures, and even the whole city was closed (isolated). On this basis, we will consider several aspects of decision-making - legislative and regulatory, and decisions related to the allocation of public resources in the field of health care to manage the crisis.
