There will be no classes in Devnya either. A state of emergency or partial state of emergency is in place in almost all municipalities in the northern portion of Varna region. The Varna-Dobrich road remains closed for clearing. The water pumps are being restored, as is the electricity supply in the villages of Dobrich region.
