Hello dear friends who hear my voice

I hope you are all well

And unfortunately I have to say that in these last few days at Camp Moria Many people are infected with the corona virus

And this virus is becoming more and more common among immigrants every day

And last night, 8 of our friends who lived near our tent became infected with the virus And were taken to hospital

And with the poor conditions that this camp has in terms of health I hope that a solution to this issue will be found soon

And otherwise we will see a big catastrophe

Γεια σας, φίλ# που ακούτε τη φωνή μου

Ελπίζω να είσαστε καλά

Και δυστυχώς έχω να πω ότι αυτές τις τελευταίες μέρες στο καμπ της Μόριας πολύς κόσμος έχει κολλήσει τον κορονοϊό

Κι αυτός ο ιός εξαπλώνεται όλο και περισσότερο ανάμεσα στ# μεταναστ# κάθε μέρα

Χτες το βράδυ, οχτώ φίλ# μας που μένουν κοντά στη σκηνή μας αρρώστησαν απ’ τον ιό και μεταφέρθηκαν στο νοσοκομείο

Και με τις κακές συνθήκες υγιεινής που έχει αυτό το στρατόπεδο, ελπίζω να βρεθεί μια λύση σ’ αυτό το θέμα σύντομα

Αλλιώς θα δούμε μεγάλη καταστροφή
