Italian army blocks Bulgarian workers in area with coronavirus outbreak

Bulgarian seasonal workers are protesting in the Italian town of Mondragone near Naples in the town area blocked due to a coronavirus outbreak. The army interfered after some workers managed to break the Police cordon. Clashes with furious locals who tried to push the workers towards their blocks of flats also occurred. 49 cases of Covid-19 have been registered among all 700 residents of 4 blocks of flats in the so-called red zone. Most of the infected are Bulgarian nationals. The Bulgarian migrants who pick tomatoes in Italy fear job losses.
