The Ministry of Health’s expert councils of epidemiology and infectious diseases support wearing a mask outdoors.

This was announced after they held an online meeting today. The experts also discussed the possibility of reducing quarantine for contact persons from 14 to 10 days. There is no definitive decision as yet whether and when the new measures will be enforced.

A survey conducted by Trend sociological agency indicates that half of Bulgarians do not want a return to stricter measures to contain the spread of Covid-19.
