Employment in refugee centers in Bulgaria is currently 17%. Below 850 people are accommodated in all territorial units of the State Agency for Refugees, and since the beginning of the year, and 270 people have sought protection. This is what Petya Parvanova, chairman of the State Agency for Refugees, said in "The Day Begins" on BNT. 

The State Agency for Refugees will not build any new refugee centers, announced on BTV the Chairwoman of the Agency Petia Parvanova.

''We have extended capacity for 6,000 people in the centers in the country and 5,100 are currently occupied. This means there is room for another 900 people'' she added.

Тhe movement of refugees outside the placement centre in Harmanli will be temporarily stopped as of November 23, said Deputy Minister of Health Vanio Sharkov at a briefing earlier on November 22.

Тhe measure is necessary as a result of the tension created among residents of the city in the past few days, who are worried about a possible infection.
