Bulgarians returning to Belgium from a vacation in Bulgaria have received messages that they should be placed under a 14-day quarantine. According to the Belgian coronavirus response system, the Bulgarian citizens residing in Belgium have arrived from a so-called "red zone", which is the one with the highest prevalence of Covid-19. 
The Belgian anti-virus headquarters told BNR that these messages should not be taken into account, as Bulgaria is already listed as an "orange zone" country and PCR tests and home quarantine are desirable, but not mandatory.
