The Covid 19 pandemic continues to hold the world in suspense. More than 7.5 million people worldwide have already been infected with the new type of corona virus, 186,251 of them in Germany - where there are always local outbreaks.

Virus outbreak in Berlin: three apartment buildings are under quarantine
In Berlin, three entire apartment buildings are apparently under quarantine. "This has a new quality in the corona crisis," said Neukölln's health councilor Falko Liecke (47, CDU) to the "B.Z." on Monday. For the first time, entire apartment blocks in the districts of Spandau, Wedding and Neukölln have been affected by a coronavirus outbreak. It is still unclear where the residents of the house, mainly of Romanian origin, have been infected.

 

Das Hotel Estrel

Hotel Estrel in Berlin-Neulölln has test capacities available.

A connection to school children was noticed. The newspaper suspected that an infected priest had spread the virus while visiting the community. He is now in the hospital. Hundreds of tenants are currently in quarantine, the majority of the residents' tests are still pending.

City Councilor Liecke: "Since things should go quickly, we have to come up with something." With its six mobile teams and the smear center at Hotel Estrel, it is possible to take about 200 to 300 smears a day. The Senate and district experts want to discuss how to proceed on Monday
