Blagoevgrad district becomes Covid-19 green zone

Because of the low incidence of Covid-19 , the requirement for weekly tests for students in 60 municipalities in 13 districts is lifted the Education Ministry said on March 9.

These are municipalities with a morbidity rate of less than 250 per 100,000 people. Most children from Blagoevgrad - nearly 32,000, Kardzhali - almost 13,500, and Pazardzhik - over 10,000 - entered the classrooms without being tested. Only 14,000 pupils entered school without having been tested last week.

Blagoevgrad is the first district in Bulgaria with less than 100 infected per 100,000 people in 2022.

The southwestern district was among the regions with the largest number of infections at the end of last year and the beginning of this year. The district was in the green zone from the end of May to the end of August 2021.

The 14-day incidence rate at national level is 416 per 100,000 people. The highest number of infected people is in the districts of Varna, Bourgas, Shumen, Silistra and Sofia-city.

Three regions are already in stage 1 in terms of intensive care bed occupancy and coronavirus incidence, according to the National Information Portal.
