"It's far from the new life in Europe they hoped for — and it's the perfect breeding ground for the coronavirus," according to Vice.

A Doctors without Borders medical coordinator told Vice, in some parts of the camp only one water tap is available for 1,300 people. Additionally, soap is not available.

According to The Guardian, fears among those in the refugee camp escalated after Lesbos confirmed it's first COVID-19 case. There was anger over more people arriving at the camp. Several NGO's had to reduce or stop their services due to fears of violence, and doctors and journalists were attacked.

Worldometers has good, live data on coronavirus cases, updated daily.

Médecins San Frontières suspended their services due to the violence but were "overwhelmed" with patients after they reopened, The Guardian reported.

The group has called for migrants to be evacuated from the crowded camps to avoid the spread of the virus, Reuters reported. Doctors without Borders also recommended the camps be evacuated, according to Vice.

While the Greek government suspended "visits and activities of non-state organizations in refugee camps" last week, MSF told Reuters that mostly impacts the work they do inside the camp.

Save the Children also reported that there is no system for screening or testing for the new coronavirus in Cox Bazar, Bangladesh. According to Save the Children, Cox Bazar has the largest refugee resettlement population in the world. While there are still no confirmed cases, it would be difficult for people living there to self-isolate which could allow the virus to rapidly spread if the virus makes its way there.
