(AFP) In Europe’s biggest asylum seeker camp of Moria, on the Greek island of Lesbos, authorities are trying to keep residents apart from a population with at least three coronavirus cases.
But in a sprawling, overstretched facility that was already a health hazard before the virus made landfall in Greece, there is widespread concern.
“As you all know we are in corona time and … the (biggest) problem that we have is overcrowding inside these camps,” Mohamed Omid, an asylum seeker from Afghanistan, posted on Facebook Tuesday from inside Moria.
There have been 20 recorded deaths and 743 officially announced infections from the coronavirus in Greece, which has a population of 11 million.
Three of the cases have been reported among Lesbos islanders.
