Despite the calls not to travel for Easter, long columns of cars formed at Sofia’s exit points.

Prime Minister Boyko Borissov stated that the unemployment benefits of the people leaving the towns, under the pretext of going to work who give false information in their declarations, should be deprived of them.

Because of the emergency measures and in order to reduce non-essential travel, the Bulgarian State Railways have restricted traffic. 39 trains will not be running for the duration of the Easter holidays, up until 20 April. For the remainder, passengers will only be able to embark at key stations.
