Germany accuses some Kosovars of spreading corruption during visits to Bajram

Göttingen has been one point of Covid-19 in Germany for days because the number of infected is increasing. This is also associated with the stigmatisation of foreigners. Prejudice also affects families from Kosovo.

The university city of Göttingen reached within a week the number of 50 new infections with Covid-19 for 100,000 residents. If this level is passed into the city, quarantine measures will be restored again. And that depends largely on further developments in the Iduna residential bloc.

The city's crisis headquarters responsibility, Petra Broistedt, has ordered the establishment of an ambulance testing centre in the Iduna residential bloc's garage to avoid further infections on the way to clinics. Doctors and medical students tested over 400 residents living in this 407 - residence complex over the weekend. “The city's municipal council member has refused to declare full quarantine for this residential complex, as some have already requested in Göttingen. “He's not a prison.

Iduna complex is now called Corona complex

Heiko, who has been living in the Iduna complex for years, feels as a prisoner and a criminal. Like all the residents of the complex, which everyone now calls “Corona” complex, many city residents hold him responsible for the Corona explosion and for the fact that all schools in Göttingen will be closed for another week, he says. I've got a bad look on the street, or I'm being reviled. Some even spit behind my back. ”

Prejudice against families from Kosovo

Even more strongly affected by guilt are a number of Kosovo families who have come to Germany in the 1990s, as well as an Arab family. The prosecution is investigating because the Public Health Directorate suspects that the spread of the virus was a major private holiday in the case of the end of Ramadan, where many had gathered, as well as a group of 30 men who had been to a Shisha-Bar and had mixed masks after drinking nergy.

Right parties and their supporters are fuelling the situation with racist posts on social networks.

Families from Kosovo complain of stigmatisation and strongly object to the fact that they have organised major holidays in Bajrami's case. They say that “zero patient” had a different nationality and that they had repeatedly informed the Public Health Directorate that “zero patient” had violated quarantine, but without success.

One-Sided Media Reporting

Meinhart Ramaswamy, a member of the city's municipal council, who has been caring for families from Kosovo for years, criticises the fact that media have been unilaterally informed. We had a dentist here in Gitingen who was for skiing in Ischgl, Austria, where Corona exploded and after he got back here 500 patients. No one wrote us media about it,” says Meinhart Ramaswamy. According to local politician:” in a complex where many people live in very narrow spaces are the basis for outbreaks. ”
