Extending the emergency epidemic situation by three months, effective from 1 February, i.e. until the end of April, proposes Minister of Health Prof Kostadin Angelov. He announced this himself during a hearing in the relevant committee of the National Assembly.

The finalised set of anti-epidemic measures which will be in force until 31 January 2021 were reported by the ministers at a working meeting with Prime Minister Boyko Borissov.

New, stricter measures aimed at mitigating the spread of the novel coronavirus are being introduced by the government.

The order will officially enter into force Friday evening.

Wearing facemasks outdoors will be mandatory starting Thursday, 22 October. The announcement came from Minister of Healthcare Prof. Kostadin Angelov.

Prime Minister Boyko Borissov said at a news conference on Monday that the state of epidemic emergency in Bulgaria, prompted by the spread of COVID-19, will be extended by a month until 31 August by order of Health Minister Kostadin Angelov.
"We will extend the state of emergency due to the pandemic by one more month to make the measures work," Borissov said.

The Covid-19 epidemic emergency, in effect until July 15, will be extended until July 31, 2020, Bulgarian Health Minister Kiril Ananiev told a news briefing here on Monday. The decision was made at a meeting with Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, members of the National Coronavirus Task Force, Finance Minister Vladislav Goranov and Deputy Prime Minister Tomislav Donchev.

Bulgarian Health Minister Kiril Ananiev has issued four orders which set out the new rules and measures in connection with the coronavirus. They will be valid until the end of the epidemic emergency - 30 June. Initially, the mandatory wearing of protective masks had to remain only in public transport. Kiril Ananiev's order states now that we must wear personal protective equipment at pharmacies and hospitals too. Wearing facemasks remains recommended in all other public venues, especially outdoors.

Based on a report by the Chief State Health Inspector Dr. Angel Kunchev, the state of epidemic emergency is being extended, Health Minister Kiril Ananiev told a news briefing on Wednesday at the Council of Ministers. In the morning, Prime Minister Boyko Borissov had a meeting with the national coronavirus taskforce to discuss the overall epidemic situation in Bulgaria. Ananiev said that in his report, Dr. Kunchev points out that the spread of the coronavirus is still a major risk to the health and lives of people.

As of June 1, passengers arriving in Bulgaria from most European countries – but not those with the largest outbreaks of new coronavirus – will no longer be required to go into mandatory quarantine for 14 days. Quarantine for people who arrived from the Serbia and North Macedonia between May 20 and 31 and who have not been in contact with COVID-19 patients is also lifted under an order by the Health Minister on Monday.

Travel between Bulgaria and Greece will be without quarantine as of 1 June. The decision was made at a video conference of the leaders of Bulgaria, Greece, Serbia and Romania and was announced Tuesday by Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov.
