At this time 24,000 people in Bulgaria have been placed in quarantine, said Interior Minister Mladen Marinov at a briefing of the Council of Ministers.

So far, legal proceedings have been instituted against more than 200 people for violation of the measures connected with the state of emergency, their observance is being monitored with particular attention in the Roma neighbourhoods. Any individual who gives false information in the declaration needed to cross the checkpoints at the entrances to regional towns is criminally liable, Minister Marinov said.
