A WOMAN diagnosed with coronavirus while being held in Yarl’s Wood detention centre sparked fresh calls today for all immigration detainees to be released. 

The Home Office confirmed on Sunday that a detainee at the notorious immigration centre in Bedfordshire had tested positive for Covid-19. 

Women for Refugee Women reported that many detainees there have underlying health conditions but have not been given any extra protection or advice.
