‘Very small’ number of cases reported at Manston airfield, where about 3,000 people are staying
There has been an outbreak of diphtheria at an asylum seeker processing centre at a former MoD site in Kent.
The Home Office refused to confirm the number of cases of diphtheria at Manston – an airfield in Ramsgate providing tented accommodation for about 3,000 people who have arrived in the UK on small boats – but said the number was “very small”.
