The results of the second samples taken from the drinking water and the sea water in Tsarevo municipality after the flood on 5 September show very degraded indicators, the Regional Health Inspectorate in Burgas has announced.

The ban on the consumption of drinking water, as well as the call not to go into the sea remain in place, BNR’s correspondent in Burgas Daniela Kostadinova reports. Samples were taken today for the third time, the results are expected on Wednesday. The state of disaster remains in place in Tsarevo municipality until all risks to the population disappear, the local crisis headquarters has decided. The torrential rain over the Southern segment of the Black Sea coastline has activated four mud slides – three on the waterfront street in Ahtopol, and one in the Northern part of the town, Ahtopol mayor Stanislav Dimitrov.
