Health measures are being considered as the goal is not to prevent tourists from coming to the country but to stop a new wave of coronavirus, Minister of Health Stoycho Katsarov said in an interview with bTV. The organization of free testing for those entering the country is being discussed, as well as raising the age of children for whom a PCR test is not required. Only vaccine certificates approved by the European Commission will be considered valid.

The Minister of Health will propose extending the epidemic situation for another two months. He has commissioned a large-scale study to reveal the percentage of the population that had encountered the virus. According to most experts, without mass vaccination a new wave is possible in the autumn, Katsarov added.
