Cyprus: Virus-infected migrants may be crossing into south

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cyprus’ health minister says coronavirus-infected migrants could be seeping through the ethnically divided Mediterranean island nation’s porous ceasefire line. Minister Constantinos Ioannou on Sunday pointed to “a problem” after a number of migrants who recently crossed from the breakaway north to seek asylum in the internationally recognized south have tested positive for COVID-19.  Ioannou said the government had ordered two months ago that all migrants undergo testing for COVID-19 before they enter reception centers. Reportedly, at least eight Syrian migrants who crossed southward in the last week tested positive for COVID-19.
