Fines in Bulgaria even after the end of the state of emergency

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.

All sanctions for non-compliance with the anti-epidemic measures are still valid even after the end of the state of emergency. After May 13, law enforcement agencies will continue to fine all violators from 300 to 1000 leva depending on their violation. In case of a repeated violation the amount jumps from 1000 to 2000 leva. The sanction for non-observance of the obligatory isolation of patients and proven contact people remains 5000 leva. The sanctions are expected to remain in force for at least two months after the state of emergency has ended.
