Bulgaria introduces new anti-epidemic measures. They were announced by the Minister of Health Prof. Kostadin Angelov.

They will take effect on Friday, after being approved by the Council of Ministers.

Ethnic Bulgarians, who live abroad and do not have Bulgarian citizenship, will be able to apply for a new type of personal document in Bulgaria, called the "Bulgarians" card. If they receive it, they will have the right to reside permanently in Bulgaria.
