Covid-19 test results in Greek, which were presented to the health authorities at the Kulata border checkpoint by Bulgarian citizens returning from an organized trip to Greece, have led to the tourists being placed under a 10-day quarantine, the Regional Health Inspectorate in Blagoevgrad has reported. "Our employees have done a perfect job. We are not obliged to know Greek," the health inspectorate said, BNR correspondent Katie Trencheva reported.

An order from the Minister of Health states that when entering Bulgaria, both Bulgarians and citizens from other EU countries must present negative PCR or antigen tests written in Latin and performed in licensed laboratories.
