Migrants moved from Bibby Stockholm barge after legionella bacteria found in water
Migrants and police were pictured on the walkway to the barge following the evacuation on Friday.The 39 migrants have only been on the barge, which is docked in Portland, this week.
A Home Office spokesperson said: "The health and welfare of individuals on the vessel is our utmost priority. Migrants have been removed from the Bibby Stockholm after Legionella was detected in the water supply."The samples taken relate only to the water system on the vessel itself and therefore carry no direct risk indication for the wider community of Portland nor do they relate to fresh water entering the vessel. Legionnaires' disease does not spread from person to person."
"This outbreak of Legionella suggests that it's only a matter of time before either lives are lost or there is serious harm to a detainee." Initially, the UKHSA recommended six migrants who boarded on Thursday be taken off, but it was decided to bring all 39 people off instead. They are being house on the barge as part of government plans to grapple with soaring levels of arrivals in the UK.
