Health Minister changes restrictions on entry into and exit out of Sofia

Bulgaria’s Health Minister Kiril Ananiev issued an amendment to his order regarding the traffic ban on entry into and exit out of Sofia.

As of April 21, people travelling for work are allowed to enter or leave Sofia at any time of day, provided that they submit a formal declaration. The declaration requires details of the workplace and the telephone number of the employer.

According to the initial order, issued with effect from April 17, there was a time window twice a day for two hours for people travelling to work. The entry schedule was from 6:00 am to 8:00 am and the return was from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. After these hours, traffic of people with private cars who go to work was not allowed.

The order was in effect for four days, during the Easter public holidays.

There was intense traffic and long queues of vehicles on the routes in and out of Sofia yesterday and this morning. Many vehicles waited for hours to get to the checkpoints.
