“no, I’m not staying here!” yells a man. The image wobbles, angry voices shouting. A couple of young men try to score a goal on police officers, however, throw from the other side. Finally, it falls.
So a cell phone video ends, it shows an incident in a Berlin refugee accommodation less than two weeks ago.
It starts with an ambulance surrounded by police officers in the container village enters, in which Refugees are housed. The police protection is necessary, because the residents are angry. A calling: “you bring here, the Corona-people.”
are you afraid of, because in the ambulance, a Corona-Infected and three contact persons sitting, which will be your new neighbors.
the ambulance and police leave the property again – the Refugees have to stay in it. Some will resist. Your accommodation was already a few days under quarantine. Now, the fear of the inhabitants, could begin the 14-day curfew from the front.
“The people were in a panic,”
ignorance and uncertainty are large in the case of the Refugees. “We had already gradually with the Corona-Infected from our home resigned, had reassured us,” says Anna (Name changed by the editors) of the DW. “But then new families were brought here and the situation is acute. I’m afraid for the children. Why are they bringing infected people here? You have us locked in here and on top of that, they bring the Infected here.”
Anna would like to keep your identity secret, for fear of losing their place in the refugee accommodation. You was there when the incident occurred. Your voice sounds upset, but also scared on the phone. The national office for refugee Affairs (LAF) declared on DW request, a Covid-19 infected Person and three contact persons were moved, because you would otherwise have to provide further accommodation under quarantine.
In the setup from the Video “was a separation of the persons concerned in own production of residential and sanitary areas are better than in their previous accommodation possible.”
“Extensively
informed” If the persons Concerned were separated, why still no one was allowed to leave the premises?, Anna asks. As the container village because of Corona of infected residents was asked a few days ago in quarantine, that was a giant no cut for you, especially without warning.
“The people were in a panic, because no one has advance notice given. We were able to before shopping anything. And other special products, all of them were bind already. All were aggressive and evil.”
The LAF writes: Due to the short-term decision of the Amtsarztes a message about the quarantine had not been in the run-up to possible. The residents had been informed of the Occurrence of the quarantine, but by direct talk and small group conversations “extensively”. “This may not be the same for the subjective Perception of individual residents sufficient”, the report says.
Wait “for b is everything is contaminated – this is not ethical,”
Meanwhile, Anna’s property is no longer under full quarantine. But currently, two other Berlin refugee homes, the LAF. In a life-270, in the other nearly 100 people. For two weeks, you are not allowed to leave the property.
and go to the doctor is not allowed, instead, a Caterer brings the food and the doctor comes in, the property. If, in the further cases should occur, can be extended to the quarantine.
About one and a half million Refugees live in Germany, many of them accommodation in the mass with several hundreds of residents. It is a limited space, to multi-bed rooms are shared with Strangers.
Flüchtlingsräte have long been critics of the camp-like States that are characterised by heteronomy and a lack of privacy.
The Shelter-housed people are at risk due to the tight occupancy and the most common use of bathrooms and kitchens to become infected with the Corona Virus, write to refugee organizations in a joint appeal.
risk, such as on a cruise ship
in the two quarantined Berlin accommodation, the bathrooms are shared, writes to the LAF on a DW request. That could mean in the worst case, that the inhabitants of infected consecutively to each other and to the quarantine week to week extended would have to be?
This question is also a Person who is at the Berlin health Department and anonymous wants to stay: “This is nothing more than a cruise ship with Infected. According to the Motto: ‘We the entire place with police protection under quarantine until everything is contaminated.’ This is not ethical.”
The health boards to decide in General, whether the collective properties are to be placed under Full or partial quarantine. Refugees in mass without warning, imprison, considers them to be problematic. “This can cause traumatized people a lot.”
A reasonable proposal is to accommodate, however, Refugees in empty Hotels and pensions. Just all but very self-absorbed, as you would look at the Refugees, not exactly.
“I fear for my family,”
In brief, wants to open the Senate health administration, a pure quarantine accommodation to Infected and contact persons in self-sufficient housing to accommodate units. So that cross infection should be prevented in the future.
currently The biggest Problem with Nora Brezger looks from the Berlin refugee Council in the bad information. Some units will only work with Prohibited, “without adequate Information and without awareness. This leads to extreme unrest and uncertainty among the residents.”
In the units would not hang multi-lingual information posters and flyers about the Coronavirus, the rich but far from it. Many important questions remained open for people who understand German: how easily and How quickly you can get? What is allowed in the public space? When could the police stop?
in Front of a property in the South of Berlin, we meet Ali Saad from Syria. He lives here with his three-month-old daughter and his wife. He’s Worried about.
“They told us, stay at home, have no contact. That is all. We can get no correct information. I fear for my family.”
He is the only one in the family who still go out to shop. After all, with gloves and disinfectant, and he had to get. “At home we get nothing,” he says.
