Bulgaria is undergoing severe damage from the COVID-19 virus, and the condition has worsened to such a level that 13 districts in the country are turned into red zones. The world has been through various COVID-19 waves, and nearly the whole world combatted with the pandemic.
Bulgaria’s districts Plovdiv and Haskovo were earlier classified as a yellow zone as the number of cases was drastically decreasing. However, the condition did not remain stable for that long as, according to the July 27 update, the areas are again turned to red zones.
Besides Plovdiv and Haskovo, eleven other cities are also under red zones. The other districts are Sofia City, Stare Zagora, Yambol, Sliven, Silistra, Kyustendil, Gabrovo, Bourgas, Varna, Sofia District and Pernik.
Varna, the third largest city in Bulgaria, has the most COVID-19 case with the highest morbidity rate, followed by Sofia city. Varna accounted for 429.35 out of 100,000 population, and Sofia city accounted for 422.96.
Blagoevgrad, a town in Southwestern Bulgaria, is close to being considered a red zone. It is near to crossing the threshold at 249.2 out of 100 000 population. The data is provided on a 14-day basis.
Fifteen yellow zone cities in Bulgaria imply a 14- day morbidity rate ranging between 100 and 249.9 per 100 000 population. Regarding the death rate, about 82 per cent of those who have died after being infected with the virus, 72 per cent were not vaccinated.
