According to the first recommendations for opening hotels in Bulgaria after the state of emergency, prepared by the Ministry of Tourism, only outdoor swimming pools will work this summer, but they have to be without mineral water. This is recorded in a preliminary version of a document sent for approval to the industry. According to it, outdoor pools will have to have a chlorine content of 0.4-0.5 milligrams per liter. Before entering the pool, each guest will have to disinfect their hands, the project says. The animation activities in the resorts will also be held only outdoors, and the distance between the individual guests is mandatory.
According to the instructions of the Ministry of Tourism, the hygiene in the accommodation should be increased, as the rooms are carefully cleaned after each guest and special attention is paid to the contact surfaces.
