The mayors of Mytilini, on Lesvos, and Chios island said they would designate buildings to quarantine migrants arriving at the islands for two weeks, as part of the measures by the government to contain the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Local community support measures were agreed at the meeting between the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the local government officials.

One person was arrested and 11 were brought in for identification at a police station on Chios island, following incidents begun when residents protesting the construction of migrant facilities stormed a hotel and clashed with riot police staying there.
