As of tomorrow, the Roma neighbourhood in the town of Peshtera in southern Bulgaria will be blocked by checkpoints at the town’s entrances and exists. The only people who will be allowed to pass will be those in need of medical assistance.

Four people have already tested positive for COVID-19 and it looks like the neighbourhood is turning into a coronavirus epicenter, Peshtera mayor Yordan Mladenov said. The people infected have been abroad, to Belgium and Great Britain.
