25,526 people have been fined for not wearing a protective mask since March 13 and another 25,000 have received a warning. The penalty for individuals is between 300 and 1,000 BGN for the first offense. Two people also have an effective sentence for breach of quarantine: from Plovdiv and Ruse. They have been imprisoned for three months and the person from Plovdiv has also been fined BGN 10,000.

This was said by Interior Minister Hristo Terziiski on the air of “Tazi Sutrin” on Nova TV. As of December 1, 1909, the points of sale have been inspected, 19 minutes have been drawn up, 5 of which are in Sofia, as well as 396 alert protocols. They are for breach of distance and other infractions. Last week inspectors found a restaurant that was working with 40 people, this Saturday – 3 more restaurants in operation, one again with 40 people. From BGN 500 and BGN 2,000 for the first violation and up to BGN 5,000 for the second is the sanction for legal persons.

Terziiski insisted that he would be vaccinated, both as a leader to set an example and out of personal convictions. 11,202 police officers have announced that they are ready to get vaccinated. “This is quick information from the National Vaccination Headquarters, we collect it in 3 hours, we have to provide more detailed information by December 21, there will probably be more. The vaccine will be given by doctors from the Medical Institute of the Ministry of the Interior,” he added the minister.

He recalled that the government allocated 28 million BGN for the ministry: 500 BGN per employee and 5 million BGN for a computer tomograph, equipment for the destruction of medical waste in the hospital. For the moment, the police are calm and working under normal conditions. Despite the economic crisis, there has been no increase in crime this year, the interior minister said. By contrast, all types of crime have decreased compared to last year, except domestic violence, which remains at the same levels.

The 34-year-old woman who robbed a shop in Sofia yesterday is probably unemployed. She was detained for 72 hours and will undergo psychiatric tests to determine why. Characteristically, she did nothing to disguise herself – the pistol was a gas pistol registered by her relative, Terziiski said.

“We cannot afford police in all commercial sites, the employees of the security company have acted appropriately, there are security systems, cameras. The holidays are approaching, we must be in the places where there is the greatest need,” he added.
