Bulgarian maritime organizations have filed a petition to the Bulgarian authorities and the European Parliament to lift the quarantine for ship's crews. They want free access to ships and air travel after a negative Covid-19 test. They recall that the measure was lifted for transport workers in the EU. According to those affected, there is no difference between EU bus drivers for whom the measure has been lifted and sailors. 

The petitioners consider it a paradox that according to the International EU Certificate the sailors are categorized as transport workers, but according to the Bulgarian institutions this is not the case.
