Health officials warn Kent accommodation could be site of ‘enduring’ Covid transmission
The transfer of asylum seekers to the controversial Napier barracks in Kent has been suspended, the Guardian has learned, as internal documents show government health officials warned it could become a site of “reoccurring or enduring” Covid transmission.
The barracks saw a mass Covid outbreak in January and February, with about half of all its occupants – approximately 197 people – infected.
