Many infected people: Criticism of the asylum home's tightness

After the Corona outbreak in a refugee shelter in Eichenau, criticism is loud.

Eichenau

- This comes from Yasemin Bilgic (councilor and migration officer), Ibrahim El-Mahgary (board spokesman for asylum workers) and Hans Sautmann (district advisor for integration and migration).

The trio issued a press release.

A big problem is therefore the much too dense occupancy of the accommodations.

The asylum workers have been complaining about this for a long time.

The district office or Free State are responsible.

Because the number of refugees has steadily declined, but the accommodations are still overflowing.

Example Schreberweg in Eichenau: The building is designed for 60 people, but currently 72 people live here (of whom, according to asylum workers, almost 30 have now tested positive).

Up to six people would live in double rooms.

There would be no social rooms, although a directive of the Ministry of the Interior stipulates this.

Toilets and kitchens would be shared.

Infected and healthy people live together in a confined space.

Quite apart from the unreasonable living conditions, in times of the pandemic this is also a considerable risk for all Eichenauer, including the full-time and voluntary helpers.

This could have been prevented, the asylum workers are certain: for example, by not giving up vacant accommodations so quickly or by concluding precautionary contracts with pensions and / or hotels whose capacities are currently underutilized anyway.

Such precaution would certainly have been more cost-effective than acute crisis management.

Praise goes to the employees of the district office for crisis management.

Four of those who tested positive were immediately moved to separate quarantine accommodation in Gröbenzell, then the others were tested.

The police had to move in anyway: After the quarantine was imposed, a resident left the property for shopping without permission.

However, he returned by himself.
