COVID-19 in Bulgaria: Starting Today Some Certificates will No Longer be Valid

Certificates of post-illness and negative test for Covid-19 will no longer be valid, starting today.

By order of the Minister of Health, Hristo Hinkov, only the issuance of vaccination certificates remains possible. They are the only documents that will be generated on the website of the National Health Information System.

If it is necessary to provide a document for a laboratory test or post-illness of COVID-19, medical facilities will be able to issue a medical document with such information to be used for the specific request.

Meanwhile, on the website of the Ministry of Health, as well as on the Public Consultation Portal, a draft of changes to the Health Law has been published, with which it is expected that the requirement for mandatory isolation of persons sick with Covid-19 and carriers, as well as the mandatory quarantine of close contacts, to be dropped.

Fifty-six are the new cases of coronavirus, registered in the last 24 hours in Bulgaria. One of the registered infected has died, according to data from the Unified Information Portal.
