Fitness centers in some Bulgarian districts were closed and other facilities are operating at 30% of their total capacity after the introduction of stricter anti-epidemic measures for a period of fourteen days. In Sofia, fitness centers are functioning at 50% of their capacity, but their managers are worried by the dynamic situation.
“Our fitness center will join the protest prepared by colleagues across the country if fitness halls are closed again or have to operate at a lower capacity”, Maria Stancheva who manages a fitness hall in Sofia said in an interview for BNT. On March 11, owners of fitness centers and shopping malls protested in the towns of Blagoevgrad and Pleven because of the partial lockdown introduced in some Bulgarian districts.
