From October 24, people arriving in Malta from Bulgaria must show negative PCR tests
From October 24, people arriving in Malta from Bulgaria will have to present a negative result of a PCR test, done up to 72 hours before entering the country, the Foreign Ministry in Sofia said.
Passengers who do not provide proof of a negative PCR test on arrival may be invited to be tested at Malta International Airport or placed in 14-day quarantine.

In a
separate statement, Bulgaria’s Foreign Ministry said that the Czech
Republic had, as of October 22, introduced temporary restrictions on
free movement of people, to limit the spread of Covid-19.
The
ban does not apply to travelling to work, visiting family, travelling
to a health facility, attending a wedding or funeral, travel outside
the Czech Republic or return to the place of residence.
Taking
into account other restrictions introduced for the same purpose (such
as closing hotels and other tourist accommodation and limiting groups
of people in public places to a maximum of two people), travel to the
Czech Republic is only possible for valid reasons. For example,
travel for tourism or to visit friends is not possible.
The new restrictions do not affect cross-border workers, the statement said.
