Masks will become mandatory outdoors in Bulgaria from October 22nd. This was announced by the Minister of Health Prof. Kostadin Angelov. Many doctors and nurses have called for the return of this measure because of the high number of infected each day.
The order is expected to be out later today and to clearly explain when and where masks have to be worn. The order will take effect on Thursday. The Minister of Health said that if the measures are strictly observed a reduction in morbidity is expected. Masks outside will be mandatory until the end of November if the situation is as it is now. What is more, from Thursday it is expected that the quarantine will become 10 days rather than the 14 days it is now.
