During the COVID-19 pandemic, four people in Saxony were temporarily housed in a state facility due to quarantine violations. This was revealed in response to an inquiry by AfD state representative Thomas Prantl in the state parliament. “In all four cases, the authorization for the placement was based on the Infection Protection Act,” the Ministry of the Interior stated.
Those affected were individuals aged 14, 21, 26, and 62. They were held for between four and 13 days in 2021 and 2022. To this end, Saxony had set up a facility on Hammerweg in Dresden at a cost of approximately 19,000 euros.
