The state of emergency in Bulgaria may have ended but some of the anti-epidemic measures implemented during it still remain and violators will be fined. For example, it is still mandatory to wear protective masks in closed public places and in public transport.

The Minister of Health of Bulgaria issued an order that allows the practice of collective sports for amateurs in the open, without competitive nature and without an audience (including football, basketball, volleyball). Participants must be up to 10 people and comply with all of the anti-epidemic measures. The use of bathrooms and changing rooms, as well as the presence of an audience is not allowed.
On May 6, the checkpoints organized by the Ministry of Interior on the entrance-exit roads of regional city centers were removed. The only exception is Yambol. The checkpoints will remain open there for now because the epidemiological situation requires it, the Ministry of Interior explained. The order for removing the checkpoints in Bulgaria was issued by the Health Minister. The same order repeals the stricter measures for entering and leaving the city of Sofia.
