The Auramo refugee reception centre in Vantaa will move to a facility in Metsälä, Helsinki, due to indoor air quality problems, said the Finnish Immigration Services in a press release on Monday.

The reception centre maintained by the Finnish Red Cross currently has 200 beds and some 170 inhabitants.

In addition, some 200 asylum seekers who live in private accommodations are registered at the reception centre.

The majority of the inhabitants will move to the facility in Metsälä, which has more than 100 beds. The reception centre will also offer services to 250 asylum seekers living in private accommodations.

The rest of the inhabitants will be accommodated at other reception centres.

The shift from Auramo to Metsälä will take place as soon as possible.
