MRSA reported at Manston in migrant who tested positive for diphtheria

Case comes after Suella Braverman ignored advice that people were being kept at the centre unlawfully

A case of MRSA has been reported at the congested asylum processing centre at Manston in Kent, the Guardian has learned, after it emerged that Suella Braverman ignored advice that people were being kept at the centre unlawfully.

The antibiotic-resistant bacteria was identified in an asylum seeker who initially tested positive for diphtheria. But they were moved out of the site in Ramsgate to a hotel hundreds of miles away before the positive test result was received, raising concerns about the spread of the infection.
