As of 1 February the Bulgarian health authorities are including the countries where the 14-day coronavirus incidence rate is between 500 and 5,000 per 100,000 residents in the red zone. Arrivals from these countries are allowed to enter Bulgaria provided they present a valid EU digital Covid certificate for vaccination, recovery, or PCR or antigen test.

So far, besides vaccination or recovery certificates, arrivals also had to present a negative PCR test result.

A “dark-red zone” is being introduced for countries where the 14-day coronavirus incidence rate is over 5,000 per 100,000 residents. Arrivals from the countries from the “dark-red zone” must present a digital certificate for vaccination, recovery or a similar document, plus a negative PCR test performed 72 hours prior to entry.
