Bulgaria ordered stores that do not sell food to shut down Friday to stem a spread of the new coronavirus as lawmakers approved fines and jail terms for quarantine violations, AFP reports.

Parliament declared a state of emergency to run until April 13, paving the way for more drastic measures as the number of infections tripled in 24 hours to a total of 23, including one death.

In a subsequent order, Health Minister Kiril Ananiev ordered the closure of shops — except food stores and pharmacies — shopping malls, casinos, bars and restaurants with immediate effect until March 29.

Schools, universities and kindergartens were also closed, as were theatres, cinemas, concert halls and sports venues.
