As of April 1, the extraordinary epidemic situation is officially lifted, Minister of Health Asena Serbezova said at a briefing. The obligatory wearing of masks in closed public places, the observance of physical distance, the restriction on the number of people who can visit indoor facilities at the same time, the restriction on face-to-face training in higher education, the ban on visits to hospitals and social care centers, the requirement for no more than 50% of employees to be present on the working site are all lifted.

However, the Chief State Health Inspector Angel Kunchev said that wearing of masks in public transport, in hospitals, when many people gather outdoors, for people at risk and with concomitant diseases, as well as the use of disinfectants were highly recommended.

A new bill provides for the possibility for the Minister of Health to introduce anti-epidemic measures outside a declared anti-epidemic situation.
