THIS WEEK IN BULGARIA
Rating on Control Room Index (comparative cost data for production in Bulgaria)
Number of people allowed on set – unlimited
Travel restrictions – opening up this week
Bulgaria is back to normal and did not go into a very strict lockdown. During the state of emergency, local productions were still being managed. The local authorities have done a good job to keep cases low during this period. Standard health protocols have been put in place and there is little restriction on managing productions. This week they lifted the travel restrictions and need for quarantine on entry. Production companies can clear people for entrance to country through a government scheme, with tests being mandated on arrival. Productions for large films are being prepared to start shooting in early July. Similar protocols are mandated on set such as a health supervisor, testing before shoot, PPE and hygiene rules.
