The state of emergency is having a negative effect on the economy as a whole, though for the moment most construction companies in Bulgaria have managed to retain their rhythm of work, the Federation of Independent Trade Unions in Construction says.  

For the time being there is no official decision to halt construction work, as long as the necessary protective measures for workers are complied with. At open-air construction sites the principle that there should be no gathering of people is observed. Devnya, the biggest cement manufacturer in Bulgaria in the town of Devnya, northeastern Bulgaria, continues work under strict safety measures. 

At the end of September there were 131,000 people employed in the construction sector, or 5.7% of all people employed in the country, data show.
