The first plane carrying Bulgarians from Great Britain landed at Sofia airport after the two-day ban on flights from the island was dropped due to the new strain of COVID-19 found there, BGNES reported.
Even before leaving the airport terminal, all arrivals are screened on the spot with a rapid antigen test, according to a new order from the Ministry of Health.
A total of 8 UK aircraft are expected to land today.
“Everything was fine, there were no problems. They scouted everyone on the flight from London. My result is negative, I suppose it will be for everyone. The flight was perfect, everything is fine, but I don’t think we need to be so welcoming, ”said Anelia Belcheva.
If a passenger tests positive, they will have to endure a 14-day quarantine, and if negative, it will be 10 days. However, many people wonder why they should isolate themselves when given a negative test.
“There are misconceptions and ambiguities,” said Bozhidar de Kostenets, who has chosen to spend the Christmas holidays in his homeland, despite the difficult anti-epidemic situation. As an international driver and employee of an international transport company in the UK, he talks about the transport chaos caused by the ban.
“We have Bulgarian drivers in Dover trying to leave the land border for the third day. The borders are already open, but there is congestion, as well as a requirement by the French authorities for a negative PCR test. So there were delays, clashes with the police. The situation is not good at all, “he said.
