yes Bulgaria spent exactly two months in a state of emergency, which expires today.
It was introduced to limit the spread of the new coronavirus and to significantly change the rhythm of social and economic life in the country.
It all started on March 13, when parliament approved the government’s proposal to declare a state of emergency across the country, and for the first time in a long time, the ruling party and opposition voted unanimously in plenary.

Initially, it was supposed to last a month, but then it was extended for another.
During this time, Bulgarian society went through several phases. Initially, there was panic and overstocking with food and basic necessities, protective masks were in short supply, and hand sanitizer was extremely difficult to find.
With the identification of the first measures by the institutions, the situation was normalized. Intensive disinfection of public places and buildings has begun in the capital and in major cities, and theaters, cinemas, gyms and parks have closed their doors to visitors.
Although the number of patients grew daily, our country was among the leaders in positive statistics in Europe and maintained some of the lowest levels of morbidity and mortality.
The briefing of the national operational headquarters, led by the general. Professor Dr. Ventsislav Mutafchiiski, who gave summary information on the situation in our country every morning, has become one of the most watched events of the day.

A lot happened in two months: Parliament passed heavy fines for violating quarantine and anti-epidemic measures, the Interior Ministry built checkpoints at the entrances and exits of regional cities, and several settlements were placed in total quarantine.
With the warming of the climate, the measures began to loosen, which fell one by one, and our country began to return to its normal rhythm of life. They opened the parks, allowed walks in the mountains and the summer gardens and the terraces of the restaurants began to work again. Under certain conditions, cinemas and theaters will now be able to function.
The doors for visitors, but under certain conditions, will open more hotels and accommodation.
However, some of the measures will remain in effect after the state of emergency expires. At this stage, for example, it is still mandatory to wear protective masks in closed public places and on public transport.
Starting May 13, the hotels will open their doors.
The deputies have already adopted the amendments to the Health Law, which allow the Council of Ministers to declare an epidemiological emergency situation, at the suggestion of the Minister of Health.
