The hot lunch programme for people in need will be extended until 19 June 2020. For this purpose, the Agency for Social Assistance was allocated BGN 5.1 million from the state budget, and the estimates are that the funds will cover the needs of about 50,000 people.

Employers must disinfect the workplace at least twice during the working day, as well as create working arrangements that minimise direct contacts between the employees within the company. These are part of the measures to prevent the risk of the spread of COVID-19, implemented by an order of the Minister of Labour and Social Policy Denitsa Sacheva.

In case of a second violation related to undeclared labour, the penalty for the employer shall be a BGN 15,000 to 20,000 fine, and for the guilty official - a fine of BGN 5,000 to 10,000. These are the proposed amendments to the Bulgarian Labour Code that the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy published for public consultation
