Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Bulgaria has taken away some certificates that let people drive or help in food businesses. These papers say they are fit to do these jobs.

What's happening? The certificates are no longer valid. This means some workers may not be allowed to do their jobs now.

Does this affect me? If you run or work in a food business in Bulgaria, this may affect you. It could also matter if you hire drivers or helpers for food work.

What should I do? Ask your local food safety office or a lawyer what this means for you. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor if you feel worried about your health.
