It is possible to open gyms and kindergartens after May 24, said the chief state health inspector Assoc. Prof. Angel Kunchev. Already 55-60% of parents agree to send their children to the kindergardens. If a child or an employee with Covid-19 is identified, the childcare facility will not be quarantined. The patient will be isolated and all contacts will be tested. 

8 conditions are set for the owners for re-opening shopping malls. There must be temperature control for entrants, a ban on sitting at indoor catering establishments and  control of the number of visitors. It is obligatory to wear a mask, to have conditions for good personal hygiene, as well as to avoid crowds of people, Kunchev specified.
