Bulgaria announces that all people from the UK need to be quarantined for 10 days.

December 20th local time, the Bulgarian Ministry of Health, Anzherov, announced a new mandatory epidemic prevention measure to deal with the threat posed by a new mutant coronavirus strain in the United Kingdom.

The measure mentions that starting from 17:00 local time on December 20, all people from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, including Bulgarians, must be subject to mandatory quarantine for 10 days after entering Bulgaria.

Anzerov said that such measures were taken to protect the health and safety of the Bulgarian people, because the new coronavirus strain already appearing in the UK has the characteristics of faster transmission.
