Two men who migrated from Turkey to the Greek island of Lesbos had a positive coronavirus test result. This was announced on Tuesday by a representative of the Greek team to control the spread of coronavirus.
These two migrants have not yet managed to get to the crowded camp Moriah in Lesbos, where more than 17 500 people live. They arrived from Turkey along with 68 other migrants between May 6 and 10 and have since been in a 14-day quarantine at a temporary camp in the north of the island, the spokesman said. Reuters quotes an unspecified source from the Ministry of Migration as saying: “There is absolutely no connection between this quarantine facility and Moria.
This was the first case of the coronavirus infection of migrants in the island part of Greece. At Camp Moriah, the field of this incident will be further checked on all migrants. The Greek authorities have already established isolation stations in case the coronavirus does erupt in Moriah.
