By introducing flexible and adequate anti-epidemic measures, it will be possible for customs respected by Bulgarian citizens to be carried out, such as the upcoming traditional masquerade games in Pernik. This has been decided at a meeting with Prime Minister Boyko Borissov.

Together with the Minister of Health Kostadin Angelov, representatives of the National Operational Headquarters and the Mayor of Pernik Stanislav Vladimirov, it was decided that the international festival "Surva" would be canceled. Instead, small celebrations will be held in individual villages and participants wearing masks will keep their distance. “Surva” is recognized by UNESCO as part of the world cultural heritage.
