Among the announced 17 new coronavirus cases in Bulgaria in the past 24 hours, three are from the group of workers who arrived for the construction of the Balkan Stream gas pipeline near Novi Pazar in North-eastern Bulgaria. All three were in contact with the worker who was admitted to the Shumen-based hospital for treatment on May 25. The three workers have no symptoms of Covid-19 and do not need to be hospitalized. They have been put in isolation from their colleagues. 

All construction workers live in a designated workers' village on the site outside the town of Novi Pazar. The entire group of 130 people strictly observed the 14-day quarantine after arriving in Bulgaria, and in practice the builders had no contact with the residents of the area, the health authorities report.
