First coronavirus case in Greece's main migrant camp
03 September, 10:49
(ANSA-AFP) - ATHENS, 03 SET - Greece on Wednesday announced a
first coronavirus infection in its largest migrant camp of Moria
on the island of Lesbos, where nearly 13,000 asylum seekers live
in unsanitary conditions. "A 40-year-old Somali man has tested
positive," a migration ministry source told AFP. The man is a
recognised refugee who had recently returned to the island from
Athens, the source said. More than 12,700 people live in Moria,
which has a nominal capacity for fewer than 2,800. Another
infection in an island camp on the island of Chios, involving a
35-year-old man from Yemen, had been reported last month.
Several non-fatal coronavirus cases have surfaced in Greek camps on the mainland -- including 150 infections at a migrant hotel in the Peloponnese in April. (ANSA-AFP).
