FAKE: Tropical infectious diseases have spread among refugees

"There is no danger of contagious diseases in the refugee centers in Bulgaria, such diseases have been not identified so far," said the Chief State Health Inspector Dr. Angel Kunchev. He explained that there is a system according to which migrants are examined for specific diseases when they arrive. "We have introduced sets of 5 tests for infectious diseases, for which we are prepared, because refugees can carry them from the countries they come to and we have dealt with such diseases, such as malaria," Kunchev said. He was adamant that more tests would be done at the center in Harmanli, denying there was any danger. "We just need to monitor the recovery process for the diseases we have encountered, for example, we have cases where medicines are simply not taken on time," said the National State Inspector. "There are no cases of transmission of diseases by refugees to the staff or to the population where the center is located. There is a reverse infection - migrants suffer from our diseases - chickenpox and influenza," Kunchev added.
