Bulgaria’s districts of Plovdiv and Razgrad have crossed the threshold to be reclassified from Covid-19 green zones to yellow zones, bringing the number of districts in the country classified as yellow to 10.

Plovdiv has a rate of 105.44 and Razgrad 102.07.

The remaining 18 districts in Bulgaria are green zones, meaning a morbidity rate lower than 100 per 100 000 population on a fortnightly basis.
