People aged over 60 shall be subject to mandatory hospitalization if infected with Covid-19 whatever their state, Minister of Health Kiril Ananiev decreed. People with underlying diseases, immune system disorders or people who have difficulty breathing shall also be admitted to hospital. After being discharged they are subject to a mandatory 28-day quarantine.
All people with a confirmed coronavirus infection are subject to mandatory 28-day isolation at home, even if they do not have any symptoms. No home visits are permitted during the isolation. People who have been in close contact with infected persons are also subject to mandatory 14-day isolation at home.
