GENERAL  INFORMATION

Borosport has set up a Covid–19 Response Task Force which you may contact by phone at +359 888 23 00 20. The Covid–19 prevention measures and rules which we have compiled and implemented are based on instructions by the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases (NCIPD), guidelines and materials provided by the General Labor Inspectorate, the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Health, the World Health Organization, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, as well as the best international practices for sanitation of mountain, forest, entertainment and other types of parks and respective equipment. Our medical partner and consultant in the preparation process is the Tokuda Hospital and its chief epidemiologist, who assists us with continuous coordination and updates, to our safety rules and procedures.

For your safety we have:

• established a response protocol in the event of confirmed infection cases on the territory of Borovets resort (guests and staff) - contact persons, notification, transport, mandatory information to be provided to the health authorities needed for contact tracing etc.
• updated measures and procedures according to the climate specifics of Borovets resort, for the summer and winter seasons.
