COVID-19: Second migrant camp under lockdown in Greece

A second migrant camp in Greece was placed under lockdown after a 53-year-old man tested positive for the new coronavirus, the migration ministry said on Sunday.

The man lives with his family at Malakasa camp along with about 1,800 asylum seekers. He has been hospitalized in Athens and is in good condition.

All asylum seekers and staff who had close contact with the patient will be isolated for 14 days.

It came after local authorities quarantined Ritsona camp in central Greece after 20 people tested positive on Thursday.

More than 110,000 people live in migrant facilities across the country, according to Reuters.
