Three residents of the municipality of Belitsa, who worked in the German slaughterhouses Tönnies, which turned out to be the largest outbreak of Covid-19 in the Federal Republic, have returned to Bulgaria without notifying the authorities. In the middle of last week, another resident of the municipality of Belitsa went to pick them up by bus. 
The mayor of Belitsa, Radoslav Revanski, told the BNR that he accidentally found out about it and was forced to take immediate measures by quarantining the returnees, who are not formally subject to this measure. 
Three more workers, residents of a neighboring municipality, have returned from the same hotspot of the infection in Germany, Revanski added.
