Owners of catering establishments and restaurants in Bulgaria are considering the possibility to launch protests, as the National Coronavirus Operational Headquarters said it was not discussing easing the anti-epidemic measures until the end of January. This was what the chairman of the Association of Restaurants Emil Kolarov said for Horizont channel of the Bulgarian National Radio.

Representatives of the catering industry insist that the restaurants open at the beginning of February, and the entertainment facilities - at the beginning of March. The cabinet's proposal reads that measures will be relaxed no earlier than February 18.

The Bulgarian Hotel and Restaurant Association has called for an urgent meeting with Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and ministers responsible for the sector not later than January 26. The Association calls for rise of compensations for the staff from February 1 to 100% of the remuneration and to 30% for the business.
