In addition, the ministry allowed visits to outdoor museums and swimming pools, it said in a statement on Tuesday.

The restrictions were imposed in March in an attempt to curb the spread of the novel coronaviruse disease (COVID-19).

By Thursday, COVID-19 cases in Bulgaria totalled 1,811 with 384 recoveries and 84 lethal outcomes. Bulgaria entered a state of emergency on March 13, which is due to end on May 13.
