No differences in treatment, based on asylum seekers’ nationality, are generally observed. However recently in Pournara emergency reception centre and upon the introduction of initial measures to tackle the Covid-19 spread, as well as the recent announcement on taking more stringent measures by the Minister of Interior in regards to migration flows, it was observed that persons coming from African countries were not allowed or faced sudden restrictions in exiting the Centre. That was in contrast to Syrian families who were able to exit the Centre more easily.
