Disease control experts have been sent to a refugee camp at the Greek-Macedonian border, but Greece's Health Ministry says the measure is largely precautionary.

The government says two mobile units from the state-run Center for Disease Control and Prevention began operating Tuesday at the border camp in Idomeni, where some 14,000 people are camped out despite Balkan border closures.

"There is a large number of children and young women and pregnant women that require attention," said Yiannis Baskozos, general secretary of Health Ministry.

"At this time we do not have any cases of concern (of disease outbreak). There is always that danger and we are monitoring this possibility. But there is no reason to panic."

Czech police are conducting a drill along the border with Austria to prepare for increased numbers of migrants.

Some 200 policemen and another 20 customs officers participated in Tuesday's exercise called "Wave," that is meant to train to be ready to control and register the refugees at border crossings and along the 464-kilometer (288-mile) border with Austria.

The Czechs have been already doing some random checks on the border with Austria but have not renewed the border control as some other EU nations. The Czech Republic has not been on the route the refugees are using on their way to rich western countries.

A similar drill was held by police and military forces in September.

Greece's government says it has no plans to forcibly evacuate a refugee camp at the border with Macedonia, but says it will pressure migrants to use newly built shelters in nearby areas.

Giorgos Kyritsis, a spokesman for an emergency government committee set up last week to deal with the migrant crisis, said authorities were concerned that more people would try to reach the sprawling border camp at Idomeni after European Union leaders and Turkey reached an outline agreement which would close the border. It could be finalized at a summit on March 17.

"So in this time gap, it is understandable that people will want to try to change the facts on the grounds and to go to (Idomeni) and to be at the border ... when a decision is made," he told state TV.

The government says it will have 16,000 additional places ready at camps and shelters by the end of the week, expanding to eight new sites around Greece.

The German government says that some 61,000 people were registered as asylum-seekers in the country last month — a significant drop compared with January.

The Interior Ministry said that the number of people arriving in Germany dropped to 61,428 in February from 91,671 in January. The ministry didn't deal the reasons for that, but other countries along the Balkan route that hundreds of thousands of migrants used last year started imposing border restrictions in February.

Germany registered nearly 1.1 million new arrivals last year — a number likely inflated by double registrations and people who traveled on to other countries — and is keen to bring the numbers down in 2016.

Syrians were the biggest single group of new arrivals in February, followed by Iraqis, Afghans, Iranians and Somalis.

Thousands of refugees stranded on the Greek-Macedonia border are waking up to the realization that their onward route through the Balkans to wealthy European Union countries is effectively closed.

About 13,000-14,000 people are stranded near the village of Idomeni, where many have been waiting for two weeks or more to be among the small numbers which have been allowed through each day. The mood Tuesday morning was visibly grim among those at the front of the queue waiting to cross.

EU leaders said Monday said they had reached the outlines of a possible deal with Ankara to return thousands of migrants to Turkey, and also said that "irregular flows of migrants along the Western Balkans route have now come to an end."
