Among the victims is former Centar Zupa Mayor Mazllum Hassan. 12 police officers from a foreign contingent helping at the southern border are among the new coronavirus cases. All police officers are from the Czech contingent. None of them had had symptoms, but the screening process before heading back to the Czech Republic showed the presence of the virus. The tests covered 40 police officers. Epidemiologist Sasko Olumcev says they’ve already been placed under strict quarantine.
