From July 29, citizens of the European Union, the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, who enter Bulgaria from countries of the so-called red area with many infected with coronavirus, you will need to do a mandatory PCR test. This is understood by an order of the caretaker Minister of Health Stoycho Katsarov.
It specifies that regardless of the nationality of those entering Bulgaria and whether they have been vaccinated, they will have to show a negative result from a PCR test conducted up to 72 hours before entering the country. Otherwise they will be quarantined for 10 days. For now, this order has a very short term – from July 29 to July 31.
