Some 35 cases of the novel coronavirus have so far been confirmed at the refugee reception and identification center in Moria, Lesvos, the National Public Health Organisation (EODY) said on Tuesday. 
Some 2,000 samples were collected at Moria by EODY health teams between September 3-5 and another 100 from the center's employees, the latter tested all negative. 
The decision for extensive Covid-19 testing at Moria was taken after a 40-year old Somali asylum seeker man who lived in a tent at Moria camp tested positive last Wednesday. 
 Moria has been in lockdown status since last Wednesday.
