All rights arising with the state of emergency shall be extended by 2 months after the expiry of the state of emergency on 13 May. Vouchers will be introduced to promote tourism. The vouchers will only be available to people who have paid social security contributions. The amount and period of validity of the vouchers is yet to be specified, said Valeri Simeonov, leader of the National Front for the Salvation of Bulgaria after the council of the ruling coalition which took place today.

Beach umbrellas and chairs will be free of charge, Simeonov added. As requested by restaurant keepers, the measures in place for the functioning of the outdoor spaces of food establishments will be eased. The government will press ahead, at accelerated rates, with the construction of infrastructure projects such as Hemus motorway, the tunnel under Shipka and the expressway to Danube Bridge 2. The right to construction work in resorts is being extended until 15 June. In agriculture, investments will be made in vegetable and fruit growing.

The restoration of the football championship in the country will follow the liberalization model in the EU countries.
