In a video address, Prime Minister Kiril Petkov stated that if 75% of people in Bulgaria get vaccinated the economy is not going to shut down.  

In Kiril Petkov’s words the only way tight restrictions can be avoided is vaccination. He stated that people must be left free to make their own choice, but that it should be borne in mind that this choice affects our personal health but also the whole of society.

So far, only about 30% of the population of Bulgaria are with a completed vaccination cycle, and fewer than 400,000 have had a booster shot.
