Outbreak at Refugee Center in Germany Infects at Least 70 people
----------------------------------------------------------------

In Germany, at least 70 refugees at a shelter near the city of Bonn have
tested positive for COVID-19. News of the outbreak at the facility -
which houses nearly 500 people - has triggered demands for better
protection and more testing for asylum seekers and refugees. Germany has
seen a recent spike in coronavirus cases as the country gradually comes
out of lockdown. There are now over 177,000 confirmed cases and a death
toll of over 8,000.
