Chickenpox outbreak reported at border migrant campsite and shelters

TIJUANA (Border Report) — Like the rest of the world, migrants south of the border have been worried about the COVID-19 virus, but now, concern at shelters and a large campsite is turning toward another virus: chickenpox.

In Tijuana, dozens of cases involving not only children but also adults have been reported in recent weeks.

Migrant activists believe the outbreak began at the campsite just south of the San Ysidro Port of Entry, where migrants — mostly from Central America — have been living for the past four months.
