The obligation takes effect on Saturday, December 19, and it is not clear how long it will be valid.
Upon entering Austria, those arriving from Bulgaria will have to fill in a declaration and appendices describing where they will stay during the quarantine. The applications are published on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bulgaria.
