During outbursts in symbiotic binaries a neutral medium in the form of a flared disk develops around their hot stars. The appearance of the disks is most probably connected with the enhanced wind from the hot star. The wind is compressed towards the equatorial plane of the hot star due to its rotation. To test this idea we calculated the ionization boundaries in the enhanced wind and thus confirmed the possibility of the formation of the neutral disk-like zones around the hot stars in symbiotic binaries during outbursts.
