17 coronavirus infections have been reported in Moria camp, set up on the Greek island of Lesvos.
Last week, hundreds of Palestinian asylum-seekers and thousands of other migrants taking shelter in Moria camp have been quarantined following a confirmed coronavirus case.
More than 12,000 people - mainly from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq - live in Moria camp, which has grown to become the island’s second largest town in just three years.
Moria, in a former military base, opened in 2015 as a center to register new arrivals but is now at four times its capacity and it has spilled over into a muddy, garbage-strewn olive grove.
