It is too early to talk about opening theatres, concerts and philharmonic orchestras, said Culture Minister Boil Banov. For now, only open-air performances will be allowed, with a limited number of performers. 

Only museums, galleries, and libraries will re-open in compliance with all safety measures. The cinemas will work without air conditioners and with a capacity of up to 30% of the seats. Cultural events are also allowed - but also with limited capacity for the audience in the halls, Banov explained. 
The opening of the shopping malls will be among the last measures that will be relaxed, commented the Minister of Health Kiril Ananiev. He called for anti-epidemic measures to be observed and advised people to avoid close contact in cinemas and during outdoor events.
