(LifeSiteNews) Germany has announced plans to open COVID-specific detention camps for those who fail to conform to the quarantine regulations imposed due to the coronavirus crisis. Similar camps are currently being discussed in New York and Australia.
The Telegraph reports that due to permission granted under “emergency powers,” the detention centers, or prison camps, will be used to contain those who break quarantine rules.
People who refuse to go into self-isolation after testing positive for COVID-19, or after coming into contact with someone who has tested ‘positive,’ could be placed in the detention centers. However, reports note that those who refuse to quarantine must first be warned and then receive a fine, after which a judge may then sentence them to a detention center.
