DOES QUARANTINE REMAIN FOR COVID PATIENTS?

As of today, the obligatory wearing of masks in shops, public buildings, schools and public transport is abolished. However, health authorities recommend wearing masks in hospitals and public transport, keeping a distance and continuing vaccination.

The requirement for a certificate for vaccination, disease or a negative test for KOVID upon entering Bulgaria remains in force. The quarantine remains - for infected it is 10 days, and for contact - 7.

The Minister of Health will be able to introduce anti-epidemic measures depending on the situation.

It is envisaged that this will be done at the local level by orders of the directors of the Regional Health Inspectorates, the National Assembly decided with the adoption at first reading of amendments to the Health Act.

The changes envisage first-line medics continuing for another three months - until the end of June - to receive additional money to work with Covid patients.

Students who, for health and other valid reasons, are unable to return to class will be eligible for online learning for another 30 days.

There is no longer a requirement to keep a physical distance, and there is no limit to the number of people who can gather in one place. Restaurants, malls and theaters operate without capacity limitations.

The recommended work from home is also dropped.
