"The Municipality is assisting in sheltering the victims of the disaster and at the moment around 100 people are accommodated in facilities provided by the institution. Food and water are provided for the evacuees. By decision of the directors, the schools in the town of Sveti Vlas, the village of Kosharitsa, the town of Nesebar, the Sunny Beach resort and the village of Ravda will remain on online learning until Thursday inclusive, and the kindergartens are working normally," said Mr. Dimitrov.
