The mass testing for Covid-19 of residents of the village of Panicherevo, South Bulgaria, resumes today. They will be tested with 1,000 rapid test kits donated to this Bulgarian village. On April 15, Panicherevo was placed under quarantine. In the first 4 days, 230 residents were tested for the novel coronavirus and 8 persons were diagnosed with Covid-19. 

However, the mass testing in Panicherevo was temporarily suspended, because the last 100 rapid tests showed that only one person tested positive for Covid-19. The mass testing resumes, because on April 26 a seventy one-year-old woman from the village tested positive for Covid-19.
