"Students will no longer go on flu vacations and, if necessary, will study remotely," Bulgaria's Education Minister Krasimir Valchev told Nova TV. Regarding the coronavirus, he added that the negative scenarios were coming true and the situation would be complicated by the approaching cold weather and the appearance of influenza viruses. 

Currently, there are no excessive numbers of infections in schools compared to the total number of people infected with Covid-19, it became clear from the words of the Minister. 
"0.4% of the classes are quarantined, but even if they reach 4%, there will be enough children in the classrooms," he said. Krasimir Valchev also said that if there would be a boom of infections in a municipality or district, then it would move entirely to training in an electronic environment.
