Lack of medical staff causes problems during quarantine

The Bulgarian Association of Nurses insists that medical staff must stop moving from one hospital to another. Many healthcare workers are employed at 2 or even 3 different hospitals which helps the spread of the coronavirus, Dimitriya Dimitrova who is among the founders of the new association contends. For instance, the nurses working at the internal ward of the hospital in Peshtera (South Bulgaria) were in contact with people infected with coronavirus for five days. The nurses were placed under eight day quarantine and later they went to work in another hospital in the district city of Pazardzhik. This is a very common practice, the nurses signal and call for more responsibility.
