Bulgaria Declares Flu Epidemic Measures in Two Districts

In Bulgaria, two districts, Varna and Dobrich, have started special measures to control the flu.

These measures will last from January 19 to January 23.

During this time, schools will be closed, and hospitals will stop regular visits and surgeries.

This is because the number of flu cases has gone up a lot, from 47 to 207 cases per 10,000 people.

The health officials say that the flu is spreading quickly but also expect it to get better by February.

The flu is a sickness that makes people cough, have a fever, and feel tired.

It spreads when people cough or sneeze.

The best way to prevent it is by getting a vaccine.

Most people get better on their own, but some might need to see a doctor.
