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.
