A male migrant has died of Covid-19, the first reported death of an asylum seeker since the pandemic broke out in Greece in late February, a government official told Reuters.
The 61-year-old Afghan, a father of two children, who lived at the migrant camp of Malakasa north of Athens, was treated and died at a hospital in Athens, the official said, adding that authorities were tracing his contacts.
The Malakasa camp, which hosts about 3,000 migrants, has been quarantined since Sept 7 after positive tests for the new coronavirus.
