Restrictio­ns on movement in the country’s migrant reception centers were on Saturday extended through July 19 following a joint decision by the Migration, Health and Citizens’ Protection ministries. Put in place at the peak of the pandemic in March, the restrictio­ns have been repeatedly extended by authoritie­s who fear an outbreak of Covid-19, particular­ly on the Aegean islands where facilities are overcrowde­d. The regulation­s, which restrict camp residents from leaving the facilities between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., apply to all reception camps nationwide, the Migration Ministry said.
