“Travelling outside Europe is unlikely this summer. I advise people not to make plans which will not work out,” said Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva in an interview for Nova TV.

The 14-day quarantine for all people arriving in the country will remain until the end of May whatever country they are coming from. After 15 June this measure could be dropped with regard to people coming from the lowest-risk countries.

Minister Zaharieva and Minister of Transport Rosen Zhelyazkov are insisting that airlines start posting warnings to their websites regarding the rules of entry into the host country.
