At 7pm Bulgarian time, the quarantine of the Bansko ski resort in Pirin Mountain was lifted. The town was the first to endure a 14-day full quarantine. However, all epidemiological measures valid for the whole country remain valid in Bansko, as well. There are also checkpoints at the city exits, it was reported. Many Bulgarians, who lost their jobs in the resort but stayed there because of the quarantine, have already packed their luggage to go home.
