Inspectors from the Sofia Regional Health Inspectorate fined Bulgarian MPs for violating the regulation of Bulgaria’s Health Minister for mandatory wearing of face mask in indoor public places. 24 MPs were sanctioned with EUR 150 each by the health inspectors. Some of them are planning to challenge the fines and claim that they had reason to take off their masks. Deputy President of Bulgaria’s National Assembly Valeri Simeonov said that he would make a proposal which envisages that MPs who speak from the Parliament’s rostrum and the MPs chairing the sitting in plenary are exempt from the requirement for obligatory wearing of face masks with the argument that the distance between them is more than 1.5 meters, which is in line with the requirement in the Health Minister’s regulation.
