On March 21st, 2020, the first 300 refugees and immigrants, mostly families and vulnerable individuals, were transferred from the islands to the closed camp of Kleidi, while the transfer of people who entered Greece through Evros region is still pending. The living conditions for those people within the center were improper and inhumane, infringing their dignity and totally violating their human rights. They were forced to live in plastic tents without heat and electricity, while they could not receive any kind of legal or social care support, appropriate nutrition or material goods. The police are the main responsible agency of the center, operating under the umbrella of the strict measures applied now, due to COVID-19 pandemic. Representatives of international aid community, such as IOM and ICRC, only recently managed to ensure constant presence and operation within the center by providing humanitarian aid, while other NGOs are not allowed to enter the center yet. There is still a significant need for social and material support as well as protection from practices that undermine refugees' social and civil rights. Covid-19 outbreak amidst the border crisis The Covid-19 outbreak complicated the situation. Direct and strict measures taken against COVID19 by the Greek government, subsequently led the Greek asylum service to decide a suspension of all services to the public from March 13th, 2020 till April 10th, 2020, in order to protect public health and limit the further dissemination of virus COVID-19. Recently it has been announced that the suspension will be extended until May 15th, 2020. During this period, no registrations or asylum interviews will take place, neither notifications of asylum decisions or files of appeals. Within the RIC of Fylakio, there are 4 wings (A-D) that host detainees, with 6 containers and 1 more wing (E) with 7 containers, all under National Public Health Organization (NPHO)’s medical superintendence. From the beginning of the COVID-19 restriction measures and the Agnodiki project applied in all RICs, 1 container in each wing, apart from wing E, has been reformed in order to host any potential COVID-19 patient. Moreover, 2 extra containers outside of the wings have been reformed into treatment rooms for any potential COVID-19 patients and protective measures among the employees and the police staff (masks, gloves, antiseptics, 2 meter distance rule, rotated physical presence, antiseptic methods to anyone that enters the RIC) have been taken. 14 | P a g e
