During the last 24 hours in Blagoevgrad, 53 new cases of coronavirus were reported. 17 of the positive samples are from singers and people from the “Pirin” orchestral ensemble. More team trials are expected.
On Thursday, the National Headquarters of Operations declared the area a “red zone” due to the number of people infected with COVID-19. Locals described the Health Minister’s words as hasty. According to them, there are not enough arguments for such a thesis.
People in the area say the state is not helping them fight the virus. “Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have received 10 liters of alcohol. It is good that the state is thinking about hospitals, national policies, etc., but it is time to pay attention to municipalities as well,” said Mayor of Blagoevgrad Rumen Tomov. .

The municipality has already spent 340,000 BGN of its own budget for measures against the epidemic. “I do not know how we will manage, I am worried,” added the mayor.
The Razlog and Gotse Delchev hospitals have completely exhausted their capacity in the COVID wards. Near the critical threshold are the Blagoevgrad and Sandanski medical institutions. There are nearly 500 students in quarantine in the district, 16 of them with coronavirus.
“Yes, the situation is dynamic, it is not pleasant, but I dare say there is no reason to worry,” said Ivaylo Zlatanov, director of RWU – Blagoevgrad.

On Friday, experts from the Municipal Crisis Staff will assess whether additional measures are needed and what they should be.
