Greeks are often stereotyped as being socially disorganized, yet throughout their history have proven to be good at chaos management. The COVID-19 health and social crisis has emphasized the latter with Greece surpassing international expectations. Still, despite major difficulties mostly inflicted by a longstanding austerity, Greece now also needs to help and shield an overwhelming number of migrants and refugees currently residing in camps and elsewhere within the country. Despite the aggressive measures and lockdowns enforced at the beginning of the pandemic, Greek authorities are now moving towards lifting some of these controls. Yet, there is profound concern that there might be a sudden spike in some of the refugee camps, especially in the islands. Healthcare workers and nurses in particular have been portrayed as ‘heroes of the day’. Yet, despite their heavy input and admirable response to tackle the corona virus emergency we still need to devote time to raise awareness of, and provide support for, the complex needs of our migrant populations.
