A flu epidemic will be declared in Pazardzhik municipality on January 25 2012 after one was declared in Samokov on January 23, Bulgarian National Television said.
 
Stara Zagora, Haskovo and Sofia were expected to follow.
 
For now, no schools would be closed, the Health Ministry said. But the Education Ministry said the opposite, that schools would be closed where epidemics were declared.
 
Bulgarian National Television said that decisions on closing schools were up to regional inspectorates of education.
 
The report quoted health authorities as saying that this year there was no evidence of the AH1N1 "swine flu" virus in Bulgaria.
