The move to the new camp, which was set up with the help of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), is very slow, as all newcomers have to pass a coronavirus rapid test. ERT, referring to the Ministry of Health, said that the infection had been confirmed in seven people so far. All those infected, along with their family members, were placed in isolation in a remote part of the tent camp, where they would have to spend the mandatory quarantine.

The quarantine just ordered, which reached the entire Moria camp after the first outbreak, led to loud protests and eventually deliberate fires that completely destroyed the camp on Tuesday and Wednesday. Since then, more than 12,000 locals have been homeless. Many of them are protesting against being transferred to a makeshift camp and asking them to leave the island and continue to Europe. But the Greek government is ruling out this for now.

According to the DPA, the situation on the island is very tense on Sunday. Thousands of migrants remain on the roads. It may take weeks for all the people of the ruined Moria camp to regain their roof over their heads. Authorities are looking for other places where tent camps could be set up.

Repeated spontaneous demonstrations took place on Saturday and refugees clashed with police as a result. Migrants threw stones at police officers, who used tear gas against them.

Camp Moria has been criticized for many years for the plight of thousands of people, including minors and families with young children. Almost 13,000 migrants found themselves in the facility, originally intended for a maximum of 2,750 people, and the problems were mainly with hygiene. The people of Lesbos want the government now to relocate the refugees to mainland Greece, which has so far only allowed the evacuation of unaccompanied migrant minors. Ten countries of the European Union should share them.
