(Reuters) Greece has quarantined a migrant camp after 23 asylum seekers tested positive for the coronavirus, authorities said on Thursday, its first such facility to be hit since the outbreak of the disease.
Tests were conducted after a 19-year-old female migrant living in the camp in central Greece was found infected after giving birth at an Athens hospital last week. She was the first recorded case among thousands of asylum seekers living in overcrowded camps across Greece.
None of the confirmed cases showed any symptoms, the ministry said, adding that it was continuing its tests.
Authorities said 119 of 380 people on board a ferry, which authorities said had been prevented from docking in Turkey and was now anchored off Athens, had tested positive for the virus.
