Germans who refuse quarantine after being exposed to Covid will be held in detention centres under new rules prepared by regional authorities, reports the Daily Mail: the eastern state of Saxony confirmed plans to keep quarantine offenders in a "fenced section" of a "detention camp" to be built next week. The regional state stated that the facility will only be used for people who have repeatedly disobeyed the blockade rules on self-isolation.
Baden-Württemberg in south-west Germany will use two hospital rooms to detain repeat offenders, who will be monitored by the police. In Brandenburg, the authorities will arrest using a section of a refugee centre, while Schleswig-Holstein will use an area within a juvenile detention centre. Police authorities in Dresden confirmed to Russian broadcaster RT that detention centres are being built there for those who refuse to comply with the rules. Those who do not comply for the first time will receive a warning, then a fine and if they continue to violate the rules, a court will decide on their detention in these new facilities.
Legal experts told Die Welt that state governments have powers to detain people for violating quarantine rules under the Disease Protection Act, passed by the German Bundestag last March and renewed in November.
German authorities have been criticised for their management of the pandemic, with proposals to impose national vaccine mandates in a bid to control the virus. The measures come as Chancellor Angela Merkel considers imposing a 'mega-strike' and suspending public transport. The Bild newspaper reported that Merkel wants to effectively close the country almost completely, amid general fears of the "fast-spreading variant" of the coronavirus first detected in the south of England.
The plan has been widely criticised. AfD MP Joana Cotar accused the Saxony government of "reading too much into Orwell", referring to the totalitarian political system of surveillance and control described in British author George Orwell's novel 1984.
