Brook House Covid outbreak down to government's 'rush to deport people'
A general view of Brook House Immigration Removal Centre, next to Gatwick Airport in West Sussex

Three wings at Brook House have been put into isolation, according to a notice seen by the Morning Star, which was distributed to detainees this morning.
Shockingly, the notice from contractor Serco, which runs the removal centre, suggests that people may still be transferred there despite the outbreak.
