There are no grounds for introduction of stringent restrictive measures in Sarnitsa municipality due to the newly-confirmed cases of Covid-19, the Chief State Health Inspector Dr. Angel Kunchev said in the town of Pazardzhik at a sitting of the district crisis headquarters. Mayor of Sarnitsa Nebi Bozov joined the meeting via a video conference link.  In Angel Kunchev’s words, the Covid-19 outbreak in the Rhodpe municipality is no different than other similar cluster cases. Angel Kunchev forecasted that within ten days the situation will be completely under control. Nearly 200 people employed at a factory in Dospat, of whom 48 from Sarnitsa, are tested for Covid-19. The rest of the workers are from Smolyan and Blagoevgrad districts.
