Hotel and restaurant owners in the winter resort of Chepelare in the Rhodopes organized a protest demanding changes to the anti-epidemic measures connected with the green certificate.

In a declaration the protesters demand that antibody tests be recognized for issuing a green certificate, that the state provide free tests and a free testing procedure, and that the green certificate be enforced for the entire public administration at a central and at a local level. 70% of all hotels and restaurants have already closed, the protesters say.
