The eastern state of Saxony, where hospitals have been struggling to cope with one of the worst coronavirus outbreaks in the country, has confirmed plans to hold quarantine breakers in a fenced off section of a refugee camp.
Saxony is set to construct the centre next week. The regional state has stressed that the facility will only be used for people who have repeatedly broken the rules around quarantine even after facing financial penalties.
Three further states - Baden-Württemberg, Brandenburg and Schleswig-Holstein - have also either already created such facilities or are in the process of doing so, a report in Sunday’s edition of Welt newspaper stated.

Rest of the story..
In Baden-Württemberg, two hospitals will have rooms reserved for repeat offenders, which will be guarded by police. Brandeburg will use a section of a refugee centre, while Schleswig-Holstein will use an area within a juvenile detention centre.
Dr Christoph Degenhart, an expert in administrative law, told Die Welt that state governments had been given powers to detain people for breaching quarantine rules under the disease protection act, an emergency law that was passed by the German Bundestag last March and renewed in November.
It is unclear just how many people have refused to follow quarantine rules in Germany. But several states have said that they have no plans to set up similar detention facilities due to the fact that so few people have broken the rules.
With public debate in Germany highly fractious since the beginning of the winter lockdown, the detention facilities have drawn comparison to political prisons in communist East Germany. Joana Cotar, an MP for the populist Alternative for Germany party, accused the state government of Saxony of “reading too much Orwell.”
Ethical questions around the pandemic were also stirred by comments made by Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, who told Bild newspaper that people who have been vaccinated should be allowed to use cinemas and restaurants again.
He justified his opinion by saying that vaccinated people can no longer take a hospital ventilator away from another person and should thus be allowed to go about their everyday lives once again.
“It’s true that inequality would be created but it would be for a transitional period and if there is evidence to back it up, it’s constitutionally okay,” Mr Maas said.
One politician from the conservative CDU party rejected the proposal on Sunday as “social dynamite.”
Faced with public scepticism, the German government has repeatedly pledged neither to make vaccines mandatory nor to afford privileges to the vaccinated that would create mandatory vaccination “through the back door.”
Hmmmm, something about this seems familiar...
You can always trust the Germans to go overboard with any evil idea like moths to a flame. This will not end well.
What, Dachau wasn’t available?
Germans who keep refusing to quarantine could be put in detention centers

Germans detention centers. Sounds familiar.
It appears that in the past day or so they realized they'd better start calling them "detention centers" instead of "camps".
“You can always trust the Germans to go overboard with any evil idea like moths to a flame.”
I hate to be racist, but it’s pretty true.
They are an extreme people as a group. Individually just fine.
Having been to Dachau in 2018, only 2 of the housing units are still standing...but the crematoriums are still there and could be fired up at anytime...
Well, stay tuned... It will become "first-hand" familiar after Harris-Pelousy get rolling over the next few months...
Detention camps in the USSA are already being proposed by the communists now in power... It won't take long for them to begin setting them up by late spring...
At least AOC is ahead of the game with her desire for the ovens... That will keep down any over-crowding problems at the camps...
Schutzhaft Lager Dachau is still intact. Why not put it back into use?
So they can focus while they are in the camp.
Billy Gates to the rescue.
Ve’ must see your papers .
They could re-open Auschwitz and Buchenwald.

I agree. I think that the Thirty Years War messed up their gene pool regarding group dynamics:
"Thirty Years' War (German: Dreißigjähriger Krieg, pronounced [ˈdʁaɪ̯sɪçˌjɛːʁɪɡɐ kʁiːk] was a conflict primarily fought in Central Europe from 1618 to 1648. Estimates of total military and civilian deaths range from 4.5 to 8 million, mostly from disease or starvation. In some areas of Germany, it has been suggested that up to 60% of the population died."
“Having been to Dachau in 2018”
It is actually an upscale neighborhood. Imagine having a guard tower in your back yard. I remember reading, in the 40’s it was just a forest with a one mile no go zone around it.
If this was the US, they would have renamed the town.
“They are an extreme people as a group. Individually just fine”
Yup, its my opinion of them as well mostly. Been to Germany many times and dated a couple German women, however it really depends on the individuals, there are some especially one I know of that is off the wall rabid crazy left.
The day I was there, I was surprised at the number of German School Children who appeared to be on field trips that were there, most were in the 12-15 year old range....in fact I would say there where the majority of the people visiting that day.....
What’s your take?
One could say that have a lot of experience in this.
Just not much of a survival rate.
