Almost half of the around 13,000 residents of the burned down refugee camp Moria on the Greek island of Lesbos have now been housed in the hastily built interim camp. 6000 people have now entered the camp,
said a spokesman for the Greek Ministry of Migration. According to this, 157 of them tested positive for the novel corona virus. After the fires in the Moria camp last week,
thousands of refugees on Lesvos slept by the roadside and in supermarket places under makeshift canopies made of branches or in camping tents. The Greek authorities started building a new camp on Saturday with UN support.
According to the authorities, the asylum procedures for migrants are to be resumed there. Many refugees refused to go to the camp because they feared they would be stuck there again for months.
From Thursday morning, police officers had gone from sleeping place to sleeping place to wake up the camping, homeless people and bring them to the emergency camp.
