In Bulgaria’s second biggest city Plovdiv joint teams of police and the municipal authorities imposed fines of EUR 2,500 /5,000 Leva/ on 100 individuals in just one day, Sunday. The greatest number of reports of violations are in the neighbourhoods with a predominantly ethnic population, but many people have been fined in other parts of towns as well. If the violation is by a sole proprietor or legal person the fine is EUR 7,500 /15,000 Leva/. Control of the implementation of the measures aimed at checking the spread of the epidemic in Sofia has also been stepped up considerably.
