And not only that.

    : After the major fire, a new

    refugee camp was built on Lesbos

Update from September 27, 2020:

According to the government, the first resident of a refugee camp

in

Greece

died of a corona infection

.

A 61-year-old Afghan who was

housed

in

the Malakassa camp near Athens

died in a hospital in the Greek capital

, the

Ministry of

Migration said on Sunday.

Malakassa and the nearby Schisto and Elaionas camps were quarantined at the beginning of September due to increasing numbers of infections.

The corona virus had recently spread strongly in the Greek refugee camps.

In the controversial interim camp on the island of Lesbos alone (see initial report),

more than 240 asylum seekers tested positive for the pathogen

.

The camp was

hastily built

after the

Moria refugee

camp was

destroyed

by fire.

Around 12,000 people previously lived there.

When they moved into the new camp, all residents were tested for corona infection.

As

Migration Minister Notis Mitarachi

said on Sunday, all unaccompanied minors living in refugee camps on the Greek islands have now been brought to the mainland.

Germany has promised to take in up to 150 of them.

According to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the first 50 unaccompanied underage refugees are expected to arrive in Germany on Wednesday.

housed

in a new camp on a former military training area near the port of the island's capital,

Mytilene

.

There are also reports that there are plenty of difficulties around this new camp: many of the asylum seekers allegedly did not even want to go to the new

refugee camp

because they feared poor conditions there.

Refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos: designed for 10,000 people

And: The capacity limit of 10,000 people has almost been reached, not all

refugees on Lesbos

will fit

into the camp.

tested

for the insidious

virus

*

and

213 positive corona cases were

found.

The infected were isolated in separate tents.

According to the authorities,

a total of 12,700 refugees homeless.

Even more: at the new

refugee camp

on a former military training area, there are obviously dangers to the life and limb of the

asylum seekers
