A total of 1324 hepatitis A cases were registered in the region of Plovdiv, Dnevnik newspaper reported.

The hepatitis cases in the city of Plovdiv were 933. The number increased by 17 only for a day.

The majority of the infected people lived in the Roma-populated neighbourhoods of Stolipinovo and Sheker mahala, Dnevnik said.

Some parents in Plovdiv refused to let their children to school as they had to study together with Roma students.

The Roma students, living in the potentially dangerous districts, were vaccinated against hepatitis on September 14, but the process of immunity building took two weeks, Dnevnik said.

Another four hepatitis cases were registered in the town of Karlovo. The number of hepatitis infections in the town reached 57, Dnevnik said.
