Since the beginning of the state of emergency on March 13, nearly 310,000 people have been quarantined. There are effective sentences for violation of measures such as probation, fines and more. This was announced at a briefing in the Parliament by the Minister of Interior Hristo Terziiski. According to him, just yesterday the warning protocols for not wearing a protective mask were 894. However, the goal is not to punish citizens and fine them, but to warn them in order to take measures for their health.
