Coronavirus infections in Greece’s overcrowded migrant camp Moria on the island of Lesbos have nearly doubled since Monday to 35 confirmed cases, Reuters reported, quoting the migration ministry.

The facility was placed under quarantine last week after authorities confirmed that a 40-year-old asylum-seeker had tested positive for the coronavirus.

Health authorities conducted a total of 2,000 tests in Moria, including 100 on camp staff who tested negative. All 35 migrants who tested positive have been moved to a segregated space and only one has shown Covid-19 symptoms.
