Bulgaria registers 79 new cases of coronavirus infection
79 new cases of coronavirus infections were confirmed in Bulgaria for the past 24 hours, out of 1777 tests. The total number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Bulgaria rose to 2889, 1099 of which are active. 167 people with the infection have died, while1623 have recovered.
Two new hot spots have been declared as well – in Nova Zagora and the town of Izgrev, near Shoumen. Over the past several days, Bulgaria saw a rapid rise of coronavirus infections, just as it had almost lifted most restrictions against the spread of COVID-19.
More than half of the new cases over the past weekend and yesterday were from a cluster in Dospat and the nearby town of Sarnitsa. The infected – mostly women – work at a toy factory in Dospat. Reports emerged that the workers likely hid their symptoms out of fear of losing their jobs.
Following the spike in cases yesterday, the National Health Inspector Dr. Angel Kunchev said he would recommend to the Cabinet an extension to the epidemic state of emergency, which was due to end June 14. The Council of Ministers decided today to grant the request and extend the state of epidemic emergency till the end of the month.
“If it comes to it, we will expand it again,” PM Boyko Borissov said.
