Of 400 men at military site, about 100 who tested negative for virus are being rehoused to self-isolate
About 100 asylum seekers being housed at a former army barracks are to be transferred to hotels to self-isolate following a significant Covid-19 outbreak at the repurposed site.
There were about 400 men held at Napier barracks near Folkestone, Kent, and roughly a quarter of the population, who had tested negative for the coronavirus, would spend 10 days in hotels inside and outside the district, Folkestone and Hythe district council (FHDC) said.
