Bulgaria registers sixth death from COVID-19, cases rise to 331
Bulgaria registered three deaths in a day from coronavirus, bringing the total to six. One is a 64-year-old woman, who was being treated in Pirogov hospital in Sofia. Another – a 55-year-old man from Razlog. He was working at the ski lift in Bansko – one of the most popular ski resorts in Bulgaria and the only town in the country to declare a full lockdown due to the novel coronavirus on March 17. The third was a patient in Kyustendil.
This is the first time more than one fatality has occurred in a single day in Bulgaria since the first case of COVID-19 was discovered March 8.
Meanwhile, schools will remain closed at least until April 12. Education Minister Krassimir Valchev said the schoolyear might end up being extended but he assured it will not be canceled altogether.
PM Boyko Borissov also announced an expansion to the measures, aimed to aid companies affected by the virus in keeping their workers.
The measure essentially states the social security budget will pay 60% of workers’ salaries if they face losing their jobs due to the measures to contain the spread of the virus. The specifics of the plan are still in development.
